Does anyone know if there are ANY eligible conditions for which Medicare will pay for HBOT? Just wondering if those conditions (if present) can be used as the authorizing code for coverage?
there may be more, not sure.

- Note, though, that the time and total number of appointments for HBOT with those conditions would not even be enough for a lyme patient. -

Thanks for the replies. I have severe mold toxicity from black toxic mold in my house. I wonder if Medicare might consider that as justifiable?
No one probably knows the answer to that...just thought I would put it out there for others if they might be in similar circumstances.
One of my LLMDs seems to be good at navigating Medicare so I will add this to my list of questions for her when I see her in January. Will try to remember to come back and post what she tells me.

- You can see details at the official medicare site. I seriously doubt they care about mold exposure or much else, though. -
