Is HBOT Right for Me? — HBOT Tool

Step 1 — What are you considering HBOT for?

An emergency UHMS indication (CO poisoning, decompression sickness, gas gangrene, crush injury) A UHMS wound indication (diabetic foot ulcer, radiation injury, compromised graft) A neurological condition (TBI, concussion, stroke, long COVID, PTSD) General wellness, recovery, or anti-aging Another condition / unsure

Step 2 — Any of these apply to you?

Tick anything that applies. These affect HBOT eligibility and screening.

Untreated pneumothorax (collapsed lung) Currently or recently received bleomycin chemotherapy Currently receiving chemotherapy (other agents) Severe COPD with air trapping Uncontrolled epilepsy or recent seizure Pregnant Difficulty equalising ears / recent ear surgery / untreated sinus disease Severe claustrophobia Current fever or active infection None of the above

Step 3 — Cost and access

Off-label HBOT is rarely covered by insurance. UHMS-approved indications are typically covered.

Insurance / Medicare should cover this (UHMS-approved) I can budget up to $6,000 cash-pay for a full off-label course I can budget $6,000–$18,000 cash-pay for a full off-label course Cost is a significant constraint Not sure yet

Step 4 — How urgent / what's the time horizon?

Emergency / acute (hours–days) Subacute (weeks) Chronic (months–years post-event) Preventive / wellness (no acute issue)
