Medicare denied my claim because they do not pay for Portable Oxygen Concentrators. However, along with my Medicare denial claim, I submitted a claim to my secondary insurer (Tricare 4 Life) and they paid 71% of the cost.

I am also 79 and on oxygen 24/7. I’ve been on OFEV 100mg/2x for 3+ months. I’ve only had diarrhea 3 times… most likely from eating fried foods which I have learned to stay away from. I also take my OFEV half way through a meal that has protein. In the evening I take it with either a protein shake and saltine crackers or yogurt and saltine crackers.
