While Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a highly effective, well-researched modality for treating a broad range of injuries and illnesses, and despite the fact that it’s widely used around the world, the politics of health care in the US have resulted in HBOT only being FDA-approved for 14 conditions. This means insurance only covers treatment for those specific conditions, forcing most people seeking treatment to pay out of pocket.
The average cost of HBOT treatment in Vermont is over $400/session, and many conditions require 20-40 sessions. For the majority of people, that price would make regaining their health financially inaccessible. Hyperbaric Vermont was founded as a non-profit specifically to address that problem.
By charging patients around $65-70/session, fundraising to make up the difference, and frequently gifting treatments to those patients in need, we are able to see far more people who wouldn’t otherwise have access to this care.
We also offer pre-paid, discounted packages of 10, 20, 30, and 40 sessions, putting the average cost of treatment even lower than if patients paid one session at a time.
Our fee schedule is as follows:
CONSULT AND FIRST 60-MIN CHAMBER TREATMENT
- Intake consult with prescription from our office, plus first 60-min chamber treatment – $125.00
- Intake consult with prescription from outside provider, plus first 60-min chamber treatment – $115.00
