Your Guide to Healing with Hyperbarics

  • Insurance coverage for hyperbaric oxygen therapy depends on the specific indication for treatment. Here's a list of FDA-approved indications that are typically covered:

    • Air or gas embolism
    • Carbon monoxide poisoning
    • Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
    • Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias
    • Decompression sickness
    • Enhanced healing of selected problem wounds
    • Exceptional blood loss anemia

    • Necrotizing soft tissue infections
    • Osteomyelitis (refractory)
    • Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
    • Skin grafts and flaps (compromised)
    • Thermal burns
    • Intracranial abscess

    For these indications, insurance often covers the cost, though pre-authorization may be required. Consultations are typically covered by insurance, with your specific co-pay and deductible determining any out-of-pocket expenses.

  • A referral is not always necessary. However, for certain insurance-covered indications, a referral may be requested. We may also ask for relevant medical notes based on your medical history.

  • Treatment length varies based on the condition being treated:

    One-hour treatments are primarily for brain-related conditions like concussions, TBIs, PTSD, post-COVID, etc.

    Two-hour treatments focus on bodily conditions such as chronic pain, sports injuries, pre- and post-surgery, diabetic foot ulcers, post-radiation injuries, etc.

  • Our treatments involve a comfortable and guided process. Upon arrival, you'll check in and change into provided 100% cotton scrubs. Our hyperbaric oxygen treatment involves pressurized oxygen, so it's essential to wear only these scrubs. You'll meet with a hyperbaric technician who will take your vitals and discuss your symptoms. During treatment, you'll be in a large, see-through chamber, and our technicians will assist you with ear-clearing techniques and ensure you're comfortable watching TV or listening to music. Post-treatment, you can discuss any symptom updates with the technician or our on-site doctor.

  • We treat patients of all ages, including infants. For young children, we recommend a parent or guardian accompany them in the chamber. While pregnant women are generally not allowed in the chamber, exceptions are made for emergency situations.

  • Patients are required to change into our provided 100% cotton scrubs, available in various sizes, including children's sizes and up to 5X. Gowns are also available if preferred.

  • The rule is simple: If you weren’t born with it, it doesn’t go into the chamber. This means no personal items like headphones, cellphones, or books. We provide a TV with streaming services for entertainment during treatment. Glasses are allowed at the discretion of our safety and medical directors.

  • Many patients with claustrophobia find comfort in our large, transparent chambers. However, if you have concerns, we encourage you to visit our clinic to see the chambers before scheduling your treatment.
