Conditions Treated by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

What does insurance cover?

Referred to as on-label, these conditions have been approved by the FDA for HBOT and are typically covered by insurance.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved treatment for the following 15 indications:

MOST INSURANCE COMPANIES COVER THESE FDA-APPROVED CONDITIONS:

  • Air or Gas Embolism

  • Acute Traumatic Ischemia (crush injury, compartment syndrome)

  • Exceptional blood loss (anemia)

  • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

  • Compromised Skin Grafts and Flaps

  • Cyanide Poisoning

  • Decompression Sickness

  • Intracranial Abscess

  • Clostridial Myoistis/Myonecrosis (Gas Gangrene)

  • Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections (Necrotizing Fasciitis)

  • Delayed Radiation Injury (Soft Tissue and Bony Necrosis)

  • Refractory Osteomyelitis

  • Diabetically-derived Illness (Non-healing Foot Wounds, Retinopathy, Nephropathy)

  • Thermal or Extensive Burns

  • Actinomycosis

HBOT may also be used for many other conditions by people seeking alternative medical treatments or desiring to supplement their existing care plan.

Use for non-FDA approved conditions is considered off label. Just because a condition is off-label, however, doesn’t mean a patient can’t benefit from HBOT. Clinical studies have shown the potential for HBOT to improve a wide variety of ailments.

Some of the off-label conditions that may benefit from therapeutic HBOT are listed below. Even though HBOT for these conditions is supported by research and treatment outcomes, they are typically not covered by insurance.

Why Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Why Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used for nearly 100 years by those seeking an alternative or supplemental treatment to address acute and chronic medical conditions. HBOT works via the combination of pressurized atmosphere and the inhalation of 100% pure oxygen to promote widespread healing in the body. It does this in several ways:

  • Increases oxygen levels in the body
  • Eliminates tissue hypoxia (low oxygen) by stimulating the growth of capillaries
  • Reduces inflammation, thereby reducing pain and swelling and promoting healing
  • Increases the number of stem cells in circulation throughout the body
  • Increases the production and availability of neurotransmitters
  • Stimulates connective tissue cells to promote wound healing
  • Stimulates the immune system
  • Inhibits the growth of some bacteria and kills anaerobic bacteria
  • Improves the performance of some antibiotic medications
  • Has antiviral effects
  • Helps the body clear waste byproducts from the bloodstream
