About Oxygen/Nitrogen 38/62 and its cost

What is this medication? Oxygen/Nitrogen 38/62 is a prescription medical gas mixture composed of thirty-eight percent oxygen and sixty-two percent nitrogen. This blend is often referred to as enriched air because it contains a significantly higher concentration of oxygen than the twenty-one percent found in normal room air. It is stored in high-pressure cylinders and is used to provide respiratory support to patients who are unable to maintain healthy oxygen saturation levels through normal breathing alone.

The primary use for this medication is to treat various forms of respiratory distress and chronic lung conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or pulmonary fibrosis. By providing a stable and measured dose of oxygen, it helps to improve oxygen delivery to the tissues while preventing the complications associated with breathing one hundred percent pure oxygen for extended periods. This gas mixture is typically administered in hospitals, clinics, or during emergency transport using specialized equipment like flowmeters and breathing masks to ensure precise delivery according to a physician's instructions.

Oxygen/Nitrogen 38/62 is made by Airgas. 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 38/62?

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 38/62?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Oxygen/Nitrogen 38/62?

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 Hypertension?

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.
