This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to furnish hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to eligible veterans. The legislation specifically targets veterans suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) . To receive HBOT, a veteran must have one of these covered conditions and must have already utilized at least two other evidence-based treatment options for their diagnosis. Congress finds that HBOT is a proven treatment for TBI and PTSD symptoms and should be accessible to veterans, especially those at high risk of suicide or self-harm, as an alternative to prescription drugs or invasive procedures.
