Dear HBO therapy stakeholders: You did it.
CMS has issued a correction to the 2024 rates for outpatient hyperbaric oxygen therapy, reversing the 41.5% cut and increasing reimbursement from 2023 rates. This would not have been possible without the advocacy of wound care providers across the country.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) took extraordinary efforts to investigate this issue, and issue a correction prior to the end of the year. They listened to your concerns, and acted with urgency to address them.
Thank you for your dedication to patient care, and interest in this issue. More information will be available as the HBO Coalition analyzes the corrected 2024 rates.
