## Summary

**Creates a three-year VA pilot to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).** The pilot would run in two Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) and require treatment using FDA-approved devices or devices operating under an FDA investigational device exemption. The Impact: - Veterans: Veterans diagnosed with TBI or PTSD would be eligible to receive HBOT through a VA-run pilot that lasts three years and is limited to two VISNs. - Providers and facilities: HBOT must be delivered by providers described in 38 U.S.C. § 1703(c)(5) and by facilities accredited by the Joint Commission, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, or a comparable accreditor. - Funding: The bill creates a VA HBOT Fund in the Treasury to receive donations that pay for HBOT. Amounts in the Fund are available to the Secretary without a fiscal year limit and the Fund ends on a set termination date. - Oversight and research: The Government Accountability Office must issue an updated report within one year assessing clinical trials since GAO-16-154 and covering the VA, the Department of Defense, and private entities. - Pensions: It extends a statutory date tied to certain pension payment limits by moving the cutoff from November 30, 2031 to October 30, 2034.
