HBOT is “approved”
in the United States for
14 “accepted” indications which means that the HBOT Committee
of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society and the
FDA
have approved these applications.
Medical insurance companies commonly take the position that if the FDA has not issued a formal approval, then the therapy is experimental.
Traditional
uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are usually covered by insurance plans.
The diagnoses listed below are those for which HBOT is reimbursable. Many

oxygen to devitalized tissue that would otherwise have a poor blood supply.
