Portable Oxygen Concentrator Prices in 2026

What You Can Expect to Pay for a POC

POC units range from affordable to expensive. They can be purchased brand new out of the box or used and refurbished. New units can run anywhere from $2,000-$4,000. Refurbished units are less expensive, ranging in cost from $1,000 – $2,500.1

Medicare doesn’t cover the purchase of a POC unit. It will, however, cover a portion of the cost of supplies you’ll need for a purchased unit, including tubing and a mouthpiece.

Instead of buying a POC, some seniors opt to rent one instead. Rented POC units are covered in part by Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurers. Short-term, this is the more affordable option, but your co-pays will add up month by month if you don’t have full coverage.

It’s also important to note that Medicare doesn’t cover short-term rentals or travel rentals. Medicare covers long-term POC rentals in five-year cycles. You’re required to cover your portion – 20 percent – for 36 months. At the end of five years, you can opt into getting a new rental.2

The average cost for a POC rental is $600 per month. Medicare Part B pays 80 percent of that cost, provided you rent from a Medicare-approved supplier. If you have Original Medicare, your out-of-pocket cost will be $120 monthly. If you have a Medigap plan in addition to Medicare, your out-of-pocket costs may drop to $0, depending on your plan. You’ll have to meet your annual Part B deductible before insurance kicks in. In 2026, the Part B deductible is $283.3

If you have Medicare Advantage or other health insurance, your co-pay will be outlined in your plan. Medicaid coverage varies from state to state, but may be as high as 100 percent.

Factors that Increase the Price of a Purchased POC

If you’re planning on buying your equipment, there are multiple factors that can push the cost up or down. Knowing what to look for can help you evaluate whether the device you’re considering is worth its price tag.5

• Delivery mode: Pulse dose devices, which deliver oxygen in bursts timed to your inhalation, are generally less expensive and lighter than continuous flow models. Continuous flow units — which produce a steady stream of oxygen — require more powerful internal components and typically command a higher price.
• Weight and portability: The lighter and more portable a concentrator is, the more engineering goes into its design, and ultra-light models often carry higher price tags because of their compact build and efficiency.
• Brand and warranty: Well-known brands like Inogen, Philips, and CAIRE often command higher prices because they’re well-known, trusted in the market, FDA-approved, and backed by strong warranty and service networks.
• Technology features: Many modern concentrators now include Bluetooth-enabled monitoring, smart sensors that automatically adjust oxygen flow, and connectivity to mobile apps — features that add convenience but also raise the overall cost.

All price ranges in this article reflect general market conditions at the time of publication and should be verified directly with the manufacturer or an authorized dealer before purchasing.

Pre-Owned Units

Pre-owned units can be a solid, low-cost option. But it's important to take a buyer-beware stance before you buy. Certified pre-owned units from authorized dealers are a safer choice than private-seller purchases.

If you’re looking for a bargain, you’ll find pre-owned units on commerce sites for used merchandise. But these may be scams or poor quality. Unlike these dubious purchases, certified pre-owned units sold by authorized dealers have gone through quality checks. They also come with warranties, and in some instances, trial periods.

In contrast, a private seller has no obligation to disclose service history, hours of use, or internal wear.

Ways to Reduce Your Out-of-Pocket Cost

A high sticker price doesn't necessarily mean you'll pay that amount. Here are the most common ways people reduce their POC costs:

• Using Insurance – An Inogen POC may be covered by Medicare or other insurance, and Inogen POCs are available directly to consumers to purchase or finance with a required prescription. Coverage eligibility depends on multiple factors, including your diagnosis, flow requirements, and plan terms — always confirm with your insurance carrier before assuming coverage.
• HSA/FSA funds – Portable oxygen concentrators are generally eligible for purchase using Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds, since they are prescribed medical devices.
• Financing – Most major manufacturers and authorized dealers offer monthly payment plans. Inogen, for example, offers flexible financing options directly through its website.
• Veterans' benefits – Veterans who qualify for VA health benefits may be eligible to receive POC coverage through the VA, potentially at no out-of-pocket cost.
• Grants – Several nonprofit organizations help qualifying seniors with the cost of medical expenses, including POCs. These include the Healthwell Foundation, and The Assistance Fund. Talk to your healthcare provider about additional local resources which may be available to you.

Closing Thoughts

POCs are pretty common these days. People use them in all kinds of public places, from supermarkets to cruise ships. If you need a POC to get the most out of life, it’s hard to put a price tag on it. While this can be easier said than done, you shouldn’t forgo needed medical support due to cost.

POCs are an investment, but they’re also life-changing for those who need them. Understanding price ranges, exploring insurance and financing options, and choosing a device that genuinely meets your clinical needs puts you in the best possible position to make a smart, confident decision. When in doubt, work with your prescribing physician and an authorized durable medical equipment (DME) supplier. Together, along with using our tips, can help you match the right device to suit both your health needs and your budget.
