About Our Subsidized Treatment Costs
In Vermont, the average cost for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is $400/hour, and is generally not covered by insurance.
Hyperbaric Vermont is a 501(c)3 non-profit created specifically to address that issue.
To provide patients with HBOT at a more affordable rate, Hyperbaric Vermont’s per-visit Time Of Service (TOS) treatment costs are subsidized by our generous donors.
Patients can also take advantage of our pre-paid discount plans to further reduce the cost of recommended treatment protocols.
In the spirit of serving the greater good, we suggest (though do not require) that patients who can afford our Time Of Service fee use that payment option, so that pre-paid discount plans can better support our more financially challenged patients.
Please Note:
- Payment is due at Time Of Service (TOS).
- Each pre-paid package includes a provider re-evaluation, should one be clinically indicated.
- Unused pre-paid treatments can be donated to our Patient Care Fund, to a specific patient, or may be kept on account for future use.
- Refunds on unused portions of pre-paid packages will be based on the dollar amount remaining after each used session has been re-calculated at the Time Of Service (TOS) rate.
- If you have an extended treatment gap, any potential fee increase on prepaid packages will be reflected when you return to care.
Additional Resources
There are a number of organizations which offer grants and other financial assistance for treating a wide range of conditions including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Lyme, as well as other injuries and illnesses.
The Opportunities Credit Union Independence Fund offers low interest loans for durable medical equipment, which can be used for the purchase of a hyperbaric chamber and oxygen concentrator.
