HBOT for Wound Care

in the Dallas Metroplex

We Specialize in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wounds

Our state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) clinics provide cutting-edge treatment for chronic non-healing wounds. From diabetic wounds to radiation tissue damage, our advanced therapies can enhance healing and improve your quality of life.

According to the Diabetics Association, approximately 20% of diabetics will need an amputation due to a non-healing diabetic wound. However, when Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is to the wound treatment protocol, 87% of those amputations can be avoided.

Schedule your consultation today and embark on a journey toward healing.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Care

With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, patients breathe 100% pure oxygen while in a pressurized chamber. This can increase oxygen intake by 10-15 times, which can:

  • Promote faster wound healing by delivering more oxygen to the wound location
  • Improve effectiveness by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels and boosting the activity of white blood cells.
  • Reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and improve the effectiveness of antibiotics.

What wounds can HBOT treat?

HBOT for wound healing is typically used with other standard wound care treatments to optimize results and has shown efficacy in treating various types of wounds, including but not limited to:

  • Diabetic foot ulcers
    Non-healing surgical wounds
  • Radiation-induced tissue damage
  • Compromised skin grafts and flaps
  • Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
  • Crush injuries and acute traumatic ischemia
  • Thermal burns

The Most Important Parts of the HBOT Process

The HBOT process involves several important components to ensure safe and effective treatment. The most important parts of the process include:

  • Patient Assessment – A thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, condition, and specific indications for HBOT is crucial. This assessment helps determine the suitability of HBOT, identify potential risks or contraindications, and develop an individualized treatment plan.
  • Hyperbaric Chamber – The hyperbaric chamber is the specialized environment where the treatment occurs. It is an FDA approved medical device, meeting safety standards to ensure patient comfort and well-being during the session.
  • Pressurization – The chamber is pressurized gradually to the prescribed level, typically 2 to 3 times higher than atmospheric pressure. This gradual pressurization allows the body to acclimate and prevents barotrauma, a risk associated with rapid pressure changes.
  • Oxygen Administration – The hyperbaric chamber is pressurized with 100% pure oxygen. The patient breathes in the oxygen and under pressure it saturates the blood with about 15 times more oxygen levels, promoting healing and tissue oxygenation.
  • Treatment Duration – The duration of each HBOT session varies depending on the specific condition and prescribed treatment protocol. Sessions typically last between 60 to 120 minutes, and multiple sessions are required over several weeks for complete healing.
  • Monitoring and Support – Throughout the treatment, patients are continuously monitored by trained healthcare professionals. Vital signs are closely monitored before and after treatment to ensure safety and make necessary adjustments.
  • Follow-Up Care – After the HBOT sessions, appropriate follow-up care is essential. This may involve ongoing wound care, monitoring of progress, and adjustments to the treatment plan as needed.

The Best Time for HBOT

Generally, HBOT is most effective when initiated as early as possible in the treatment course. For acute conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning or decompression sickness, failed graft, immediate treatment is essential to minimize damage and promote recovery.

HBOT is typically initiated for chronic wounds after other standard wound care measures have been attempted without success. However, every patient is unique, and a healthcare professional should determine the timing of HBOT based on individual circumstances and the specific condition being treated.

HBOT Insurance Coverage FAQs

At Baromedical Associates (serving the Dallas Metro Area and international patients), we have decades of experience in advanced hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Below, we’ve simplified your most asked insurance questions around HBOT for wound care.

Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Care Covered by Insurance?

In many cases, yes. Most insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid, and a wide range of private insurers offer HBOT wound care insurance coverage when the wound meets clinically recognized criteria. This often includes diabetic wounds, certain graft and flap complications.
That said, coverage depends on your plan, your wound’s diagnosis and severity, prior treatment, and whether the wound meets documented “failure to heal” benchmarks under standard care. Many insurance policies emphasize HBOT only when standard wound therapy has been attempted and healing is stalled.
So, yes, HBOT reimbursement for wound care can be available, but you’ll need to check with your own insurer and meet the necessary documentation and wound condition requirements.

Which Wound Conditions Qualify for Insurance Coverage Under HBOT?

Insurance companies tend to approve HBOT reimbursement for wound care for conditions that show stalled healing or tissue that needs additional oxygen support. The most commonly approved wound types include:

  • Diabetic lower-extremity ulcers (often grade III or higher)
  • Compromised skin grafts and flaps
  • Non-healing wounds that have plateaued despite standard care
  • Certain traumatic wounds and crush injuries
  • Select chronic wounds requiring adjunctive treatment

How Can Patients Verify HBOT Coverage With Their Insurance Provider?

A quick phone call to your insurance company can usually confirm your benefits. Here’s a simple way to check:

  • Call the member services number on your insurance card.
  • Tell the representative you want to confirm HBOT insurance coverage for wound care.
  • Share your wound diagnosis, how long you’ve been in treatment, and what treatments you’ve already tried.
  • Ask if your policy needs prior authorization before starting treatment.

Request details on copays, deductibles, and expected out-of-pocket costs.
We at Baromedical Associates are happy to provide you with the relevant diagnosis and treatment codes and to assist in speaking with your insurance if needed.

What Documentation Is Required for Insurance Approval of HBOT Treatment?

Insurance companies and CMS look for clear documentation that HBOT is medically necessary. Typical documentation requirements include:

  • Medical records showing the wound diagnosis, description (location, size, severity), and prior wound-care treatments (e.g., debridement, off-loading, dressing changes), and the fact that healing has stalled (for example: no measurable improvement in 30 days).
  • A physician’s order and detailed plan of care for HBOT, indicating adjunctive use of HBOT (i.e., in addition to standard therapy).
  • Treatment goals and criteria for continuing HBOT (e.g., wound reduction, granulation tissue formation). A study found that 41.5 % of insurers explicitly listed documentation requirements such as medical records, signs of healing, images, and treatment goals.
  • Billing documentation including start and stop times for each HBOT session, the chamber used, and frequency.
  • Periodic wound-healing evaluations (some insurers require wound photos or measurements every 30 days to justify continued HBOT).

Are There Limits on the Number of HBOT Sessions Insurance Will Pay For?

Yes, most plans place limits, but they vary. Many insurers approve an initial block of sessions, often around 10 to 20, and then require updated wound measurements to approve additional treatments. Medicare generally expects to see consistent progress every 30 days.
Because the progress of every wound is unique, our team keeps detailed records to support ongoing HBOT reimbursement for wound care.

Are There Any Financial Assistance Programs for Patients Without Insurance?

Yes, though specifics vary, and eligibility depends on individual circumstances. We understand that treatment cost can be a concern, and our team can help explore options, including:

  • Payment plans through our facility, helping you spread the cost over time.
  • Sliding-scale options for eligible patients (we can discuss your situation confidentially).
  • Third-party financing (for example, patient-loan companies) if you prefer.

In some cases, if your insurance doesn’t cover your wound condition for HBOT, we may provide a detailed quote and help you understand the out-of-pocket cost. We can also help you evaluate whether the benefit of treatment makes sense in your situation.
