Who qualifies

- Income is not considered
What is covered
ADP funds the oxygen itself and the equipment and supplies to use it (concentrators or tanks, tubing and masks), plus delivery, set-up and maintenance. The vendor maintains, repairs and replaces the equipment, unless it was damaged by misuse.
Who pays what
| Situation | ADP pays | You pay |
|---|---|---|
| Most adults | 75% | 25% |

How to apply
- Your doctor or nurse practitioner arranges the tests that show you meet the criteria.
- They complete the application form.
- You choose an ADP-registered home oxygen business.
- The business completes its part of the form.
- The business submits the application electronically.
Funding must be renewed every year. The vendor arranges the testing.
Buying a concentrator privately
You can buy a concentrator yourself, for example a portable unit for travel, but ADP funding goes through registered vendors. Prices we found are in home oxygen concentrators in Canada and portable oxygen concentrators in Canada. Bought privately, a portable unit cost from C$2,350 on 14 October 2026.
