Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover the costs of hyperbaric oxygen therapy when treating neurological conditions. See below for a list of reimbursable conditions:
-
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. However, some insurance companies may cover the consultation costs as well as pre- and post-treatment PET scans.
