How Much Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Cost?

Location of Provider

The expenses associated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can differ significantly based on the provider's location. Generally, larger hospitals and university medical centers tend to have higher charges compared to private clinics. At Clarity Hyperbarics, we cater to patients across Iowa, from Chariton to Mason City, with most of our clientele traveling from the Des Moines area.

Insurance Coverage

Insurance coverage for HBOT can also be a factor in overall costs, as some insurance providers may cover the treatment whereas others may not. It's advisable to check with your insurance company as well as your local healthcare provider to confirm whether they cover HBOT and to understand your potential out-of-pocket expenses.

In a past blog entry, our CEO Mike Comer covered the decision-making process surrounding the rental versus purchase of a hyperbaric chamber for outpatient wound care programs, a topic that remains relevant today. Despite shifts within the industry, the demand and interest for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) continue unabated. A recent audit by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has led to a reduction in HBOT volumes and an increase in used hyperbaric chambers available for sale. This presents existing clinics wishing to incorporate HBOT with a cost-effective purchasing opportunity. While the OIG audit could discourage some wound centers from adopting HBOT, it is still an essential part of any advanced wound care program. With the stakes so high, particularly for chronic wound patients, it’s crucial to maintain rigorous compliance and thorough documentation. Implementing HBOT can mean the difference between saving a limb and a patient's life.

How Much Does a Hyperbaric Chamber Cost? 

'When partners decide to include a hyperbaric chamber in their wound care offerings, one of the most frequent inquiries is whether to rent or buy it. For those concerned about budget, considering the purchase of a used chamber can be a financially savvy move, as they are often in excellent working condition and are generally more affordable than new ones. A brand new chamber can exceed $100,000, while a used one may cost around half that amount. Given limited capital budgets, this difference can be pivotal in establishing a comprehensive wound care center that includes HBOT. If you're interested in sourcing a used hyperbaric chamber, Hyperbaric Clearing House is an excellent starting point. Hyperbaric chambers have a depreciation lifespan of approximately 15 years and are primarily pneumatic machinery, meaning they require minimal part replacement over time. You can expect to invest at least $2,000 annually on maintenance per chamber. The foundation of chamber ownership or management remains consistent, but the overall cost of ownership may be lower.

As always, if you have questions or require assistance with the decision to purchase a single hyperbaric chamber or would like information on developing a wound care program from the ground up, don't hesitate to reach out to us at 888-484-.
