Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) for Compromised Skin Grafts

HBO is a modality in which the entire body is exposed to oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Program reimbursement for HBO therapy is limited to that which is administered in a chamber, including the one-man unit. One of the covered conditions includes:

  • Preparation and preservation of compromised skin grafts (not for primary management of wounds). Coverage would be dependent on the type of failure.

Please see the full list of covered conditions in National Coverage Determination (NCD) 20.29 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
