Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for veterans; costs not covered

Veterans with a diagnosed traumatic brain injury or PTSD can receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Your treating provider must attest to the diagnosis, write a prescription, and get your written consent. PTSD is defined in law and must be diagnosed by a qualified mental health provider using current DSM rules. The consent must explain approved treatments and likely best, worst, and most likely results. It must also say health plans and providers are not required to pay and that you are liable for all HBOT costs. You or a legal guardian must sign; your provider and a witness must attest.
