Portable Oxygen Concentrator Travel Policies:

Apria Healthcare requires reasonable notice (i.e., at least 2 weeks’ notice) of intent to request a POC for travel and also requires that all necessary travel documentation be on file with Apria Healthcare at least two weeks prior to your travel date. Failing to provide reasonable notice of intent to request a POC for travel and/or failing to provide travel documentation in a timely manner may limit or eliminate our ability to process your request for the rental of a POC unit for travel. Orders processed with less than two weeks’ advance notice may be subject to additional non-refundable fees, such as expedited shipping fees. 

Completed POC prescription forms can be faxed to 800.453.1702.

* The Great Escapes program is a domestic travel program only and does not include international travel. International travel is the sole financial responsibility of the traveler.
