CPAP Machines, Masks & Supplies
Where can I buy CPAP supplies in San Angelo, Texas?
Texas OxyCare provides CPAP machines, masks, tubing, filters, cushions, headgear and other replacement supplies at our showroom at 30 S Main St in San Angelo. Call 325.655.5756 to ask about current inventory or visit our CPAP equipment page.
Do I need a prescription for a CPAP machine?
CPAP and BiPAP machines generally require a prescription from a qualified healthcare provider. Insurance plans may also require sleep-study results and supporting documentation. Our team can explain what information may be needed before equipment is provided.
What is the difference between CPAP and BiPAP?
A CPAP machine provides continuous positive airway pressure at a prescribed setting. A BiPAP machine can provide different prescribed pressures for inhaling and exhaling. Your healthcare provider determines which therapy and settings are appropriate for you.
How do I choose the right CPAP mask?
The right mask depends on facial shape, sleeping position, breathing habits, comfort and prescribed therapy. Common styles include nasal pillow, nasal and full-face masks. A personal fitting can help identify a comfortable mask with a dependable seal.
Why is my CPAP mask leaking?
Leaks may result from fit, worn cushions, incorrect adjustment, movement during sleep or a mask style that does not suit the user. Avoid overtightening without guidance. Inspect the components, follow manufacturer instructions and ask for fitting help if leaks continue.
How often should CPAP supplies be replaced?
Replacement timing varies by component, manufacturer guidance, wear and insurance policy. Masks, cushions, tubing and filters should be inspected regularly and replaced when worn, damaged, dirty or no longer sealing or functioning properly.
How should I clean my CPAP equipment?
Follow the machine and mask manufacturers' cleaning instructions. In general, use only recommended cleaning methods, allow washable parts to air-dry completely and never immerse the CPAP machine itself. Ask us if you need the instructions for your equipment.
Does Texas OxyCare carry travel CPAP machines?
We offer travel CPAP options when available. Travel machines are compact, but their features, humidification options, power requirements and insurance coverage may differ from standard home equipment. Call to discuss current models.
Mobility Scooters & Power Lift Chairs
What types of mobility scooters are available?
Mobility scooters include portable travel models, compact scooters and larger full-size models. Important differences include weight capacity, seat size, turning radius, battery range, ground clearance, suspension and transport requirements.
How do I choose the right mobility scooter?
Consider where it will be used, doorway widths, turning space, terrain, user weight, seat comfort, battery range and how the scooter will be transported. Our team can help you compare models based on your everyday needs.
What is the difference between a mobility scooter and a power lift chair?
A mobility scooter helps a rider travel from place to place, while a power lift chair is a reclining seat that raises to assist with sitting down and standing up. The right product depends on whether the primary need is mobility away from the chair or support during seated transitions.
Can mobility scooters be taken apart for travel?
Many travel scooters separate into smaller components or fold for transportation. Component weight and cargo-space requirements vary, so confirm that the exact model will work with the intended vehicle and the people loading it.
How far can a mobility scooter travel on one charge?
Range varies by model, battery condition, rider weight, terrain, temperature and driving conditions. Manufacturer range figures are estimates. Charge and maintain batteries according to the product instructions.
Can I use a mobility scooter inside my home?
Some compact scooters work well indoors, but turning radius, overall width, doorway clearance and floor layout matter. Measure the narrowest doors and tightest turning areas before selecting equipment.
Can I see or try mobility equipment before buying it?
We encourage customers to visit our San Angelo showroom to see available products, compare features and ask questions. Call first if you need to confirm that a specific model is on display.
Do you carry lift chairs, walkers and ramps?
Our mobility and safety selection may include power lift recliners, walkers, rollators, canes, portable ramps and other products. Visit our mobility equipment page or call for current availability.
Insurance, Medicare & Payment
Does insurance pay for mobility scooters or power lift chairs?
Coverage depends on the insurance plan, medical necessity, documentation, prescribed use and supplier requirements. A healthcare evaluation and prior authorization may be required. Coverage should always be verified before ordering.
Does Medicare cover home medical equipment?
Medicare may cover certain durable medical equipment when eligibility, medical necessity, documentation and supplier requirements are met. Coverage varies by product and circumstance. Contact our team and your plan for case-specific information.
Will insurance pay for CPAP supplies?
Many plans provide benefits for prescribed CPAP equipment and replacement supplies, but deductibles, replacement schedules, compliance requirements and participating suppliers vary. We can help identify the information needed to check benefits.
What documents might insurance require?
Requirements may include a prescription, clinical notes, sleep-study results, diagnosis information, proof of medical necessity or prior authorization. The exact requirements depend on the product and insurance plan.
Does Texas OxyCare offer CareCredit?
Texas OxyCare provides access to CareCredit financing for qualifying purchases. Approval, promotional terms and repayment conditions are determined by CareCredit. Ask whether the product you plan to purchase is eligible.

Do you sell portable oxygen concentrators?
Texas OxyCare provides portable and home oxygen equipment when available. Oxygen equipment must be selected and used according to a qualified healthcare provider's prescription.
