MEDICARE AND INSURANCE:
We only file for Medicare and Tricare insurance plans. With Medicare Alternative plans, we charge the patient the full amount of the Medicare rate. If the patient has a secondary insurance plan in addition to Medicare or Tricare, the patient must set up the crosswalk between their insurance plans. Our office staff is unable to do this on behalf of the patient. If a service is not covered by Medicare or Tricare, the patient must pay out of pocket at the time of service.
All other patients who do not have Medicare or Tricare must pay out of pocket for all services rendered at the time of service. We will provide them with the appropriate documentation for them to file with their insurance for reimbursement. At this time our staff is unable to file insurance on behalf of patients.

You may need to get prior authorization for Medicare hyperbaric oxygen therapy coverage if these apply:
- You get non-emergency HBO therapy.
- You get the therapy from a facility in Illinois, Michigan, or New Jersey.
You or your facility may send a request for prior authorization to Medicare to cover the cost of hyperbaric oxygen therapy before you get these services. To do this, you must submit medical records to show that the HBO therapy is medically necessary. A Medicare contractor will review the information. Medicare will cover these services if the contractor decides that the services are medically necessary. For more information, call us at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
