Will my insurance pay for a POC?
Your insurance may cover a portable oxygen concentrator when your medical condition meets the carrier's requirements. The challenge is having someone who is versed both in insurance and respiratory care review your chart. At Diamond, we specialize in providing oxygen solutions and are experts in ensuring all required documents are complete. Our insurance specialists will meticulously review your benefits and assist you in obtaining the necessary approvals.
Sometimes, your insurance may not cover the device despite our best efforts. In this case, we also offer portable concentrators for sale with fast delivery.
Contact us today to learn more about your coverage options and how we can help you secure your portable oxygen concentrator.
Battery Life
Our portable concentrators have a battery life of four (4) to eight (8) hours for ordinary use. However, your actual battery life is determined by the type of machine you are using, your prescribed setting, and how many times you breathe per minute.
All of the POCs we sell have the option of swappable batteries, greatly extending your use.
Also, your POC will come with an AC and a car (DC) charger.

"I just went on the first trip with my new portable. It was great!" - Maggy Horowitz
4 to 8 hours per charge!
Today's portable concentrators can be as light as 2.8 pounds. While weight matters, ensuring the device meets your oxygen requirements is even more crucial. Many users find the lightest machines adequate, but some need devices with more oxygen-making capacity or longer battery life.
Our respiratory experts will assess your clinical tests and medical records to guarantee your device fits your oxygen needs perfectly.
Starting at 2.8 pounds!
Traveling with Oxygen
Airlines require that the FAA clear portable oxygen concentrators for use onboard aircraft.
Every portable concentrator Diamond sells is approved for air travel and contains a specific marking required by the FAA.
Your airline will require that you notify them beforehand that you're traveling with a POC. They will also require that you have a specific amount of charged batteries with you based on the duration of your flight.
Diamond's travel concierge is a free service for our customers and will help you navigate traveling while on oxygen.

Car or RV?
Experience unparalleled convenience with our POCs that feature dual charging options to suit your lifestyle.
Whether at home or on the go, effortlessly power up using the included AC home charger or the versatile DC charger compatible with your car or RV.

Cruises
Sailing with oxygen has never been easier. Our portable oxygen concentrators are approved for use on all the top cruise lines.
You'll need to inform the cruise line about bringing your oxygen, and they might ask to see your prescription. The Diamond Travel Concierge offers complimentary assistance to help you meet the requirements of cruising with oxygen. Be aware that some cruise ships may have different electrical plugs than those in the United States. You can easily switch your concentrator's power cord to match the style used by your ship or destination country. Reach out to Diamond with your travel plans, and we'll ensure you're all set for a smooth journey!
