Yes. All three, welding O2, ABO, and medical O2 are 100% identical. They
are "tested" to different standards but all are identical and come from
the same source.

Right.

works fine but if Medicare is paying, get it from the medical house.

And you may run into a need for a prescription if you are buying medical
O2. It is also more expensive than welding O2.
BTW, I used to fill my O2 bottle in the USVI for $11 at the local
welding supply place. I used it almost every trip to and from the US as
I would typically operate at 15,000-18,000 feet.
