INSURANCE

Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover the costs of hyperbaric oxygen when treating neurological conditions. For a list of conditions they will reimburse for, see the following;

• Actinomycosis - only as an adjunct to conventional therapy when the disease process is refractory to antibiotics and surgical treatment

• Acute carbon monoxide intoxication

• Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency

• Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia - HBO therapy is a valuable adjunctive treatment to be used in combination with accepted standard therapeutic measures, when loss of function, limb or life is threatened

• Chronic refractory osteomyelitis - when unresponsive to conventional medical and surgical management

• Crush injuries and suturing of severed limbs - as in the previous conditions, HBO therapy would be an adjunctive treatment, when loss of function, limb or life is threatened

• Cyanide poisoning

• Decompression illness

• Gas embolism

• Gas gangrene

• Necrotizing fasciitis - as an adjunct treatment, as above

• Osteoradionecrosis - as an adjunct to conventional treatment

• Preparation and preservation of compromised skin grafts

• Soft tissue radionecrosis, as an adjunct to conventional treatment

Medicare will not pay. Many insurance companies may, however, cover the costs of the physician consultation as well as pre- and post-treatment SPECT scans.
