It appears that HBOT is still in the "scant"/"experimental" category for treating lyme. Does anyone have any idea...ball park...how much it is per session? And...has anyone received any reimbursement from insurance for it?
Contemplating, yet again, pouring money down the "experimental" path to try to achieve wellness! Ugh...
Thanks!

That depends if you go the hard chamber route or the soft chamber route. The hard chamber treatment here in my town is $165 per dive with a 20 dive protocol. I have a lot of respect Connie and her crew at Pennsylvania Hyperbaric in Lancaster. I think a 90 minute dive if you pay at the end of the week is about $180. You can purchase a used soft shell chamber anywhere from $6K-$10k, depending on age and quality of oxygen compressor. I personally would not use any soft shell chamber other than Oxyhealth.
