Frequently Asked Questions
Respiratory Care FAQs
General answers about respiratory services, prescriptions, equipment and support.
What respiratory care services does MedPro support?
This hub covers aerosol therapy, suction therapy, tracheostomy supplies and support, and pulse oximetry. Service and product availability can vary by location, so contact a clinic to confirm the local pathway.
Do I need a prescription for respiratory equipment?
Prescription and documentation requirements depend on the therapy, equipment and payer. Medication, oxygen, suction and tracheostomy care should follow the authorized clinical plan. Confirm the exact requirements with the prescribing team and MedPro clinic.
Can MedPro choose or change my respiratory treatment?
No. Diagnosis, therapy choice, medication and changes to a prescription or clinical technique belong with an authorized healthcare professional. MedPro can provide equipment-related education and support within that plan.
What should I have ready when contacting a clinic?
If available, have the prescription or referral, equipment name and model, current supplies, payer information, and the contact details of the treating team. A clinic can confirm what is actually required for the specific service.
Does every MedPro clinic offer every respiratory service?
Not necessarily. Staffing, equipment, programs and service pathways can differ by region. Contact the selected clinic before visiting to confirm availability and any appointment or documentation requirements.
When should I seek urgent medical help?
Call 911 or the local emergency service for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, blue or grey lips or skin, loss of consciousness, or another medical emergency. A device reading should never delay urgent assessment when symptoms are concerning.
