Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine

Your Visit

The physicians, nurses and technicians are trained in all aspects of hyperbaric medicine. They work directly with the patient and the referring physician to develop an individualized treatment program for each patient.

Financial

Medicare and most insurance companies cover hyperbaric oxygen therapy as long as it is being used for problems hyperbaric oxygen therapy has proven to help. Most plans require that your treatment be pre-approved and some require a co-payment. Check with your insurance provider to verify coverage. If you have insurance, it is important that you bring your insurance cards when you come to the hospital. Should you change insurance companies during the course of therapy, please notify the office manager.
