Anyone familiar with process of using Medical Oxygen on UA flights

I have an aunt who wishes to travel from LAX to DAY to attend a family reunion. However, she used medical oxygen. She claims she would need it on the flight, and I am aware she can't use her own on the flight. The UA website states that for a fee, along with a completed form signed by a doctor, UA can provide inflight medical oxygen. Has anyone done this before? Did UA actually provide the medical oxygen for the flight as requested. Anyone have any experience or knowledge about this situation they can share? I am on hold with UA for about 30 min. as they look into this. Not sure why it's taking them so long, and maked me wonder if UA can be relied upon to follow through and actually provide the medical oxygen even if the fee and forms are provided. Any idea what the fee may be? Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
