Hi Cheryl,

I can tell you that they will pay for the 13 approved conditions that are listed on the UHMS.ORG website.

I have not heard of them paying for any off label therapies with exception to a small number of brain injured children. And in those cases there was a major law suit involved...you get the picture.

I can tell you that for me it has been a life saver and I have, and do offer the therapy. At a really reduced price.

HBOT however is an adjunctive therapy that works best when used in conjunction with Abx therapy. It will facilitate the crossing of the blood brain barrier, strengthen the immune system, and kill spirochetes at deeper pressures.

Here is a link to where you can do some more research.
