Getting Home Medical Oxygen Therapy

"I have found BOC very responsive to my needs & supply of products as required. The BOC representative who initially came went to great pains to answer my questions & to reassure me as to the ease of use of the products & as to the help available at any time. It is a great comfort to have this service available."

DHB Funded Patients

If a DHB is funding your oxygen therapy, they will arrange your initial HMOT set up. They will advise you as to what is required to order replacement cylinders or additional equipment.

Once I have an account with BOC, how will I receive my HMOT equipment?

If you are receiving HMOT through a DHB, the DHB will provide you with training and set up your home oxygen equipment. If you are a private patient, you can collect your equipment from your local BOC Gas & Gear or distribution partner where our staff will advise you on setting up your equipment.

Who will pay for my HMOT equipment?

Private patients: As a private patient you will be responsible to pay for your own HMOT equipment.

DHB: If the DHB is funding your therapy, they will pay on your behalf. Some items may not be included – contact your DHB to find out what items you are entitled to.
