Though not familiar with Rove6, I did some research on Medicare coverage.

Inogen, maker of Rove6 has a web page about Medicare and coverage. It appears you may need to rent instead of buy.

The information is very thorough, including what you need to provide from your provider.
https://www.inogen.com/oxygen-therapy/medicare-for-portable-oxygen-concentrators/
It also references Medicare oxygen supplies information:
https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/oxygen-equipment-accessories
On that page, it also mentions supplier of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) participate in Medicare.

Most of the references apply to Original Medicare (Part A & B). If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you should contact the insurance company about any questions.

For original Medicare, the contact info is on this page:

Have you talked to your provider about prescribing a Rove6 and the required documentation?

@roch thanks. my steps are going to lead me through my contact with Main Medical in Rochester, Medicare on the phone (we have traditional plus American Continental Supplemental). My sleep doctor has thought Medicare would not cover a Rove 6. And not cover a second sleep study after the surgery, but when I called Medicare on this they said they would.

Thanks for helping.
