If I move after the 36-month rental period does my supplier have to continue furnishing the oxygen and oxygen equipment?

Yes. Your supplier is required to continue furnishing oxygen and oxygen equipment, either directly or under arrangement, in situations where you move outside of the supplier's normal service area. If your new area is outside of your supplier's normal service area, your supplier has to make arrangements for a supplier in your new area to furnish the oxygen and oxygen equipment. You won't have to pay for oxygen equipment in your new area until the end of the equipment's reasonable useful lifetime, at which point you can elect to obtain new equipment if it is determined that you still have a medical need for oxygen.
