he advised you to call Medicare and tell them that your provider won't give you a concentrator to replace the one that's no longer working and that you were told you might have to wait 6 months for a new one. Fill Medicare in on everything else you described here. Ask Medicare what you can do. When my husband's provider stopped delivering small portable tanks on schedule, he changed providers. He now uses Apria.
