How Much Does an Oxygen Concentrator Cost?

When it comes to selecting an oxygen concentrator, one of the deciding factors is often cost. Distinctive features such as the type of oxygen delivery, weight, portability, and available accessories all determine how much an oxygen concentrator costs. 

For example, focusing on oxygen delivery, is your oxygen therapy prescription for pulse dose or continuous flow oxygen? If you require continuous flow, you may be limited in your portable oxygen concentrator options and instead may need to focus your search on home oxygen concentrators.  Understanding your prescription and what type of therapy you need will help narrow down your options.

How Much Does a Portable Oxygen Concentrator Cost? 

Portable oxygen concentrators are typically lightweight and compact. This allows for greater personal freedom and the ability to run errands, travel, or simply bring oxygen with you wherever you go. Portable oxygen concentrators from The Oxygen Concentrator Supplies Shop currently range in price from $1825 to $3425.* 

Some factors to consider before purchasing:

  • Does my prescription specify if I need pulse dose or continuous flow? 
  • If my prescription indicates pulse dose, what is the pulse setting range? 
  • How heavy is the unit for portability?
  • How much battery life is included with the unit?
  • Is my oxygen concentrator FAA-approved for in-flight use?
