UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS
When HBOT
may be covered.
Coverage starts with a qualifying diagnosis and medical necessity. Explore the conditions recognized in Medicare and major commercial policies. Our medical team can discuss suitability and the appropriate setting for your care.
01 / MEDICAREThe 15 Medicare
The 15 Medicare
condition categories.
Listed in Medicare’s national HBOT policy. Each has clinical requirements; a diagnosis alone does not establish coverage.
Read the Medicare policyDiabetic wounds of the leg or foot
Diabetes-related wounds at Wagner grade III or higher, with no measurable healing after at least 30 days of standard wound care. HBOT supplements ongoing wound care; continued coverage requires documented healing at 30-day reviews.
Radiation injury to bone
Osteoradionecrosis: radiation-damaged bone, treated alongside conventional care.
Radiation injury to soft tissue
Soft tissue radionecrosis. Commercial policies also specify radiation cystitis (bladder injury) and proctitis (rectal injury).
Chronic, treatment-resistant bone infection
Refractory osteomyelitis that persists despite conventional medical and surgical management.
Compromised skin grafts
Preservation of a failing graft; not routine treatment of an uncomplicated wound.
Acute traumatic peripheral ischemia
An injury severely restricts blood supply to a limb. HBOT accompanies standard treatment when function, the limb, or life is threatened.
Crush injuries & reattached limbs
Severely injured or surgically reattached tissue with threatened survival; HBOT is an adjunct to urgent surgical and trauma care.
Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency
Sudden loss of arterial circulation. Aetna specifies emergency intervention and imaging evidence of a clot or embolus.
Progressive necrotizing infections
Rapidly destructive tissue infections, including necrotizing fasciitis; used alongside surgery and antibiotics.
Gas gangrene
A serious clostridial infection that destroys muscle and requires urgent medical and surgical treatment.
Acute carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide exposure that requires medical assessment for chamber-based oxygen treatment.
Decompression illness
Illness related to pressure changes, often associated with diving, requiring urgent specialist assessment.
Air or gas embolism
Air or gas bubbles obstruct circulation; this is an emergency indication.
Cyanide poisoning
Acute toxic exposure. Cigna specifies HBOT after an antidote; UnitedHealthcare specifies associated carbon monoxide poisoning.
Refractory actinomycosis
Persistent bacterial infection despite antibiotics and surgery. Medicare includes adjunctive HBOT; some commercial policies exclude it.
02 / PLAN-DEPENDENTAdditional conditions.
Additional conditions.
A closer look at your plan.
Some commercial policies cover these indications or specific situations. They are not additional blanket Medicare benefits. Open a condition for details and the relevant policies.
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss
Sudden inner-ear hearing loss. Severity, prior steroid treatment, and time since onset matter; thresholds differ by insurer.
Central retinal artery occlusion
A blocked artery to the retina causing sudden vision loss. Requires emergency assessment; timing is critical.
Avascular necrosis
Bone damage from inadequate blood supply. Listed by Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna; stage and plan criteria apply.
Severe anemia from blood loss
Exceptional blood loss when transfusion cannot be given, or under some policies is delayed or refused.
Serious thermal burns
Selected deep second- or third-degree burns. Some policies require inpatient hospitalization.
Intracranial abscess
Infection within the skull, with HBOT considered as part of specialist care.
Compartment syndrome
Dangerous pressure within a muscle compartment restricts circulation; urgent surgical assessment comes first.
Compromised tissue flaps
Surgically moved tissue showing reduced circulation or threatened failure, rather than routine postoperative recovery.
Dental surgery in a previously irradiated jaw
Selected preventive treatment before and after dental surgery; the planned site and radiation history must meet policy criteria.
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis
Gas-filled cysts in the bowel wall. Aetna lists this indication; many other policies do not.
Selected arterial, pressure & venous ulcers
Anthem lists narrow exceptions involving persistent hypoxia after revascularization, failing grafts/flaps, radiation injury, or serious infection. Its venous-ulcer criteria require graft/flap support, arterial disease, and unresolved hypoxia. Continued treatment requires measurable healing. These are not blanket wound benefits.
Certain non-radiation hemorrhagic cystitis
Cigna also lists bleeding bladder inflammation resulting from a chemolytic response or graft-versus-host disease; individual review is required.
This guide summarizes the policies linked here, not every U.S. plan. Covered uses, prior authorization, and treatment limits vary. General wellness, anti-aging, and routine recovery are not automatically covered HBOT indications.
CLARITY BEFORE CARE
Your next step.
A conversation.
Review your eligibility.
Discuss your diagnosis with the medical team. Confirm network status, medical-necessity documentation, referrals, and any required prior authorization.
Know your expected cost.
Ask for an estimate before treatment, including any deductible, copay, or coinsurance. Benefit verification and authorization do not guarantee claim payment.
Your coverage could bring care closer.
As low as $0 with insurance, when your approved benefits cover the full cost.
