Call your Apria branch at least a month before your trip so we can make arrangements to meet your needs.

Program Overview

A current prescription and Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) are required for Apria to supply oxygen and prescription drugs. If you are a current Apria customer, we will forward these documents for you to your travel destination. If you are not an Apria customer, your prescriptions must be forwarded to us in advance of your travel to an Apria location.** It is recommended that you keep a copy of your prescription in case of emergency situations.

Timing
Call your Apria branch 4 to 6 weeks before you plan on leaving (or as soon as possible). The time is needed to allow us to make arrangements, including ensuring that Apria branches are prepared to meet your specific needs.

Weekday vs. Weekend Travel
Apria's weekend hours vary by location. Our hours are Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. If you travel on weekends, you may incur extra charges.

If you are not already an Apria customer, payment for travel services will be expected prior to or upon delivery of equipment. We will not bill your insurance or current provider for any services rendered.

Equipment and Supply Pick-Up or Delivery

Most home medical equipment rentals, small respiratory therapy equipment rentals, and oxygen supplies will need to be picked up at your destination Apria branch. An additional transportation fee so that you may have oxygen services delivered to you at an airport gate, or train or bus station during a layover or upon arrival, may apply. Other nominal travel coordination fees may apply if you are not a current customer of Apria Healthcare.**
