How HBOT Coordination Works
Patients from Bulverde, Spring Branch, Canyon Lake, Boerne, New Braunfels, and north San Antonio are first evaluated at the Bulverde clinic. A board-certified physician examines the wound, reviews medical history, and determines whether the condition meets FDA-cleared, Medicare-covered criteria for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. If the patient qualifies, our care coordinators schedule and manage the HBOT sessions at the Live Oak or Southwest San Antonio hyperbaric center that is most convenient, while wound care continues at Bulverde.
Conditions That May Qualify for HBOT
FDA-cleared, Medicare-covered indications include diabetic lower extremity wounds, radiation tissue damage including osteoradionecrosis, radiation cystitis and proctitis, refractory osteomyelitis, failed skin grafts and flaps, gas gangrene, crush injuries and acute traumatic ischemic injuries, idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and carbon monoxide poisoning. All treatment is physician-supervised and insurance benefits are verified before treatment begins.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each HBOT session lasts 60–120 minutes. Patients breathe 100% medical-grade oxygen at 2–3 times normal atmospheric pressure, delivering 10–15 times more oxygen to damaged tissue than normal breathing. Most Medicare-approved conditions require 20–40 sessions. Sessions are comfortable — patients may read, watch TV, or rest, and most experience only mild ear pressure during compression, easily relieved by yawning or swallowing.
