Nebulizer Machines
Nebulizers come in home (tabletop) and portable models. Home
nebulizers are larger and must be plugged into an electrical outlet.
Portable nebulizers run on batteries -- either disposable or
rechargeable -- or can be plugged into a car's cigarette lighter.
Smaller, portable units are slightly larger than a deck of cards, so
they can be carried in a purse, briefcase, or backpack to be used
whenever and wherever you need them.
To obtain a nebulizer, you need a prescription from your doctor.
Home nebulizers vary in cost, ranging from about $50 and up, plus the
cost of accessories.Portable nebulizers usually cost a little more than home
nebulizers. Both are usually covered under the durable medical equipment
portion of health insurance policies. But, most insurance companies
will require you to work with a specified durable medical equipment
supplier. Check with your insurance company before purchasing or renting
a nebulizer to ensure it will be covered. Your health care provider
should be able to assist you with these arrangements.
