A member asked:

What kind of specialist/doctor can prescribe an at home oxygen therapy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anyone: J.C., in general home oxygen _can_ be prescribed by any physician, but usually what it comes down to is 1) is it indicated, and 2) will insurance cover it. One commonly used benchmark to cover home oxygen use is whether the oxygen saturation dips below 88%, usually with walking.
