Ontario's Assistive Devices Program uses this application to fund rental of a basic home oxygen system and related services for people with a respiratory condition needing oxygen, under short-term, long-term or palliative programs. The physician or nurse practitioner records diagnoses and oximetry or blood gas results, and an ADP-registered vendor sets up therapy. ADP reviews a properly completed form in about two weeks.
The physician or nurse practitioner, or a registered respiratory therapist in some cases, confirms diagnoses and test results and signs Section 4; a regulated health professional who did the oximetry signs if the prescriber didn't. The vendor selects the funding program and delivery system, and the applicant or agent signs.

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

A physician or nurse practitioner, with their OHIP billing number, certifies that other treatment measures were tried without success and that the prescribed oxygen is medically necessary. A registered respiratory therapist employed by a hospital or in the community, and not by a home oxygen vendor, can sign instead.
Except for palliative care, the form needs oximetry results at rest, on exertion or during sleep, with signed and dated print-outs attached. It also records arterial blood gas PaO2, with a box to tick if ABGs couldn't be taken because of medical risk. If the prescriber didn't perform the oximetry personally, the regulated health professional who did must sign.
The vendor selects one: short-term oxygen therapy, long-term therapy for resting hypoxemia, long-term therapy for children, long-term therapy for exertional hypoxemia, or palliative care. Short-term therapy applies when oxygen is needed for discharge from hospital or the emergency department, or to avoid an emergency visit from a long-term care home.
