About Oxygen/Nitrogen 21/79 and its cost

What is this medication? Oxygen/Nitrogen 21/79 is a prescription medical gas mixture that consists of twenty-one percent oxygen and seventy-nine percent nitrogen. This specific concentration mimics the natural composition of the Earth's atmosphere but is produced and filtered to meet rigorous pharmaceutical standards for purity. It is primarily used to provide respiratory support for patients who require a clean and controlled source of air. Healthcare providers often prescribe this mixture for individuals who have difficulty breathing or for those who need a steady supply of air that is free from the contaminants and moisture variations often found in ordinary room air. Beyond general respiratory support, this gas mixture is frequently used in clinical settings as a carrier gas for various inhaled medications and anesthetic agents during surgery. It is also commonly employed to power medical equipment such as nebulizers or to provide ventilation for patients in intensive care units. Because it is a standardized medical product, it allows doctors to maintain precise control over the gaseous environment being delivered to a patient's lungs. As a regulated prescription drug, it must be administered by or under the supervision of trained medical personnel to ensure it is used safely for its intended therapeutic purpose.

Oxygen/Nitrogen 21/79 is made by Air Liquide. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Oxygen/Nitrogen 21/79?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Oxygen/Nitrogen 21/79?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Air Liquide has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Oxygen/Nitrogen 21/79?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Diabetes?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
