Home Oxygen Program - Fraser Health

Home Health Care and Medical Equipment

Provided by Fraser Health

Manages the funding and assesses clients on home oxygen.
Home oxygen funding is provided by Fraser Health to those that qualify based on medical and non-medical criteria.

How to Access: In order to obtain Fraser Health funding for home oxygen, a doctor/ nurse practitioner must complete a Home Oxygen Program application along with an oxygen prescription, and submit it to Community Respiratory Services. A physician leader/respirologist then considers the application to determine if the patient qualifies for home oxygen funding.

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.

Applicants, both pediatric and adult, must demonstrate chronic hypoxemia on room air at rest, on exertion or nocturnally. A physician will need to assess this.
