What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy used for and will my insurance cover it?

In the United States, almost all health care plans/third party payors reimburse for HBOT treatments that are “‘Clinically Approved Indications’ listed below. It is important to note that these are typically life or limb threatening conditions. Health care plans do not typically cover ‘quality of life’ indications. These are also listed below and known as ‘Off-Label Indications’.

There are numerous conditions reimbursed by commercial payors and workman’s compensation. In addition, many areas of the world are using HBOT for numerous other conditions. Contact your plan provider for details on the HBOT indications that they cover.

Known as ‘Clinically Approved Indications’ 

Diabetic wounds

Radiation tissue damage (Osteoradionecrosis)

Osteomyelitis (Refractory)

Skin grafts and flaps (Compromised)

Necrotizing soft tissue infections

Thermal burns

Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias

Clostridial Myonecrosis (Gas gangrene)

Actinomycosis

Air or gas embolism

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Smoke inhalation

Decompression sickness

Severe anemia

Cyanide Poisoning

Idiopath IC Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

HBOT is now experiencing widespread use throughout the world for a number of acute and chronic conditions known as ‘Off-Label Indications’. Aggressive federally and privately supported clinical trials are being conducted in the United States and abroad. Worldwide applications or research has been done on such conditions as: Autism, Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), Post Concussion Syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Chronic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Diabetes Mellitus, Chronic Ulcers of the Lower Limb, Acute Thermal Burns, Osteoradionecrosis, Brain Injury Sequelae, Stroke, Anoxia, Trauma, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Periodontal Disease, Radiation Injuries, Laryngeal Cancer, Glioblastomas, Gliosarcoma, Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain, Radiation-Induced Xerostomia, White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH), Osteoradionecrosis, Osteonecrosis and more.
