Traveling Oxygen Program

Don't be tied to your concentrator... Take it with you.  Maier Family Pharmacy / ConvaCare Services provide a nationwide traveling Oxygen program for our patients.  Our home medical equipment franchise is a part of Lincare, a nationwide Oxygen provider - this allows are patients to never be out-of-touch with their supplies when traveling almost anywhere in the 48 states.  We also offer portable concentrators (note: portable concentrators are not covered by Medicare, Medicaid or insurance plans) that are airline friendly so you can travel without dragging along boxes of portable tanks. (Oxygen tanks are not allowed on flights) 

Call us today @ 712-881-1033 about the benefits of being serviced by your local hometown pharmacy for your Oxygen needs.  We have all the benefits of the 'big-city' suppliers with the service you expect from a friend and neighbor!
