Insurance & Costs
Does insurance actually cover HBOT?
For the 14 FDA-recognized indications — yes, usually, including Medicare under NCD 20.29. For off-label uses it is almost always self-pay. We check your specific condition and payer before you commit to anything.
Safety
Is HBOT safe? Who shouldn't do it?
In accredited facilities, serious complications are rare. The one absolute contraindication is an untreated collapsed lung; certain chemotherapies and ear conditions need screening first — our physicians screen every patient.
Can I use my phone in the chamber?
No — for fire safety, no electronics enter the chamber. You can watch a movie through the chamber wall instead.
Treatment & Sessions
What does a session feel like?
Like a slow airplane descent: your ears feel pressure for a few minutes while the chamber compresses, then nothing — you rest, watch a film, or nap for 60–90 minutes while breathing 100% oxygen.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the indication: sudden hearing loss protocols run 10–20 sessions; chronic wounds and radiation injury typically 30–60. Your physician sets the final number.
