I talked to someone from Inogen and they told me that G5 has been discontinued and new model now Rove 6. They said also that when one goes through Medicare one gets a refurbished model not above G3. I also asked if I buy the model, will Medicare cover the "maintenance" and they said no. But Medicare site says it does.
I learned long ago to not take the first answer and keep asking until I am satisfied!!!
Do you need oxygen at night? They suggested I could use the portable model for my night needs (I am waiting for test results). I am thinking that might consume the batteries faster so better to have a stationary concentrator if I need at night.
Also I wonder about servicing to be sure that the machine is continuing to perform correctly.
My prescription says something about evaluate to maintain oxygen% at 90. So I need someone to check it if I buy it. Whereas if I go through Medicare it is part of the contract obligation.
