Following Approval:
An authorized oxygen provider will contact the patient to arrange delivery and provide instruction on use of the equipment. A registered respiratory therapist from Community Respiratory Services then visits the patients home to complete a respiratory assessment, provide further education and make sure you and your family caregiver are comfortable with administering the oxygen.
