HBOT

Bryan got approved for HBOT at the University of TN hospital. We are very excited! The only downfall is that Medicare won't pay a dime on it and Tricare will only pay 75%. We have no idea what we are going to have to pay out of pocket but I have a feeling it's going to be hefty. Tricare won't tell the hospital what they pay in advance so I guess he get's one treatment and see if we can swing the bill?

I did not even bother to see if the VA would pay for it. After it took them over 2 months to get PT set up after his knee surgery and 9 months for orthotics, I have lost faith in them. Either way I think this treatment needs to be part of his life long treatment plan and it helps improve his quality of life so it is worth it.
