As a healthcare provider, you’re always looking for ways to improve patient care and expand your services, and partnering with us for hyperbaric medicine management is a proven way to do both. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), although not a new treatment, has become more understood with solid research and evidence in treatment of multiple conditions. In addition, over the last few years, payers have included an increase in technical reimbursement for the non-hospital setting, making it a treatment that can be incorporated in a physician freestanding practice, either as a standalone hyperbaric unit, or within a freestanding wound care center. If you think that hyperbaric oxygen therapy might be a good complement for your current practice, please review this information to determine if and how you can offer HBOT to patients in your service area and beyond.
Hyperbaric medicine is a treatment where patients breathe 100% pure oxygen while inside a pressurized chamber. This allows oxygen to be absorbed in the plasma at much higher levels than it would be from normal atmospheric air. By increasing oxygen saturation up to 13x in the plasma, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to accelerate healing and promote recovery for a wide range of conditions.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has shown positive results in treating various health issues, including emergency, urgent and chronic conditions. Some of the conditions that have been shown to benefit from HBOT include:
Emerging conditions that may be covered by specific payers include, but are not limited to:
With decades of use in hospital settings, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is now a viable option for private physician practices looking to expand their range of treatment options. By offering HBOT, your practice can provide cutting-edge care in a friendly, familiar setting for patients with non-emergent conditions.
The key to HBOT’s effectiveness lies in its ability to deliver pure oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. While we typically inhale air that contains approximately 21% oxygen, a hyperbaric chamber provides 100% oxygen under pressures of approximately 2-3 atmospheres absolute (ATA). This increases the amount of oxygen in the plasma approximately 13x normal, which enables the body to absorb much higher levels of oxygen, thereby healing or improving many conditions where lack of oxygen is a contributing factor.
