Home Oxygen Program - Fraser Health

Provided by Fraser Health

Provides oxygen therapy to residents of Fraser Health.
COVID-19 Update: Due to the pandemic, urgent cases only will be seen in person. Consults are currently done by phone.

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

In order to obtain Fraser Health funding for home oxygen, your doctor must complete an application along with an oxygen prescription, and submit them to Community Respiratory Services. A respirologist (a doctor specializing in lung disorders) then considers the application to determine if you qualify for home oxygen funding.

There are different types of oxygen systems. Some equipment will provide for 24 hours of therapy a day while others are for short term use. A respiratory therapist will work with you and your doctor to find a system that best meets your needs. If you have problems with your equipment, please contact the oxygen supply company.

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