I fought my insurance company for months to get O2... they still wouldn't pay for it, so I buy my own.
When my Dr. requested O2, the insurance company (Aetna) required me to have a pulse oxygen level test. Since my level was 96%, O2 was denied because their threshold for approval it is 95% or less.
I argued that their criteria for approving O2 for CH was meaningless...(you all know the rest).
