About Oxygen Refrigerated Liquid and its cost
What is this medication? Oxygen refrigerated liquid is a concentrated form of medical-grade oxygen that has been cooled to an extremely low temperature until it turns into a liquid state. This medication is primarily prescribed for individuals with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions that prevent their bodies from receiving enough oxygen naturally, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, or heart failure. Before it reaches the patient, the liquid is passed through a warming coil that converts it back into a gas, which is then inhaled through a nasal cannula or a mask.
This specific delivery method is often preferred for long-term home therapy because liquid oxygen takes up significantly less space than compressed oxygen gas. This allows for the storage of a larger supply in a smaller container, and it enables patients to refill small, lightweight portable units from a stationary home reservoir. By providing a steady supply of supplemental oxygen, this medication helps to improve breathing, reduce fatigue, and support the overall function of vital organs during daily activities or sleep.
Oxygen Refrigerated Liquid is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Refrigerated Liquid?
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 Refrigerated Liquid?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Oxygen Refrigerated Liquid?
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 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease?
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.
