Common Questions About Wound Care & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
A wound may need specialized care if it has not shown signs of healing after two to four weeks of standard treatment, if it is deep, infected, or has worsening symptoms, or if you have an underlying condition like diabetes, poor circulation, or a history of radiation therapy. Signs to watch for include increasing pain, redness spreading beyond the wound edges, foul odor, drainage that is not improving, or darkening of the surrounding tissue. If any of these apply, a professional evaluation is strongly recommended — early intervention significantly improves outcomes.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an FDA-approved treatment in which a patient breathes 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This dramatically increases the amount of oxygen delivered to tissues throughout the body, accelerating the natural healing process. Medicare and most major insurers cover HBOT for specific conditions including diabetic foot ulcers (Wagner Grade III or higher), chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis), delayed radiation injuries, compromised surgical wounds, and several other serious conditions. At RevitalizeMe in Saginaw, Michigan, all HBOT treatments are performed under direct physician supervision using FDA-cleared hard-sided Sechrist chambers.
Yes — Medicare covers both advanced wound care services and hyperbaric oxygen therapy when specific clinical criteria are met. For HBOT, coverage is governed by CMS National Coverage Determination (NCD) 20.29, which outlines 15 approved indications. Most Medicaid plans and major private insurers also cover these services. At RevitalizeMe, we accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major private insurance plans. Our team verifies your coverage before your first appointment so there are no surprises. If you are unsure whether your plan covers treatment, call us at 989.320.4434 — we are happy to check for you at no charge.
A wound that is not healing properly may show one or more of the following warning signs: no visible reduction in size after two to four weeks of treatment, increasing or persistent pain around the wound, redness or warmth spreading beyond the wound edges, yellow, green, or foul-smelling drainage, darkening or blackening of the tissue, fever or chills, or bone that is visible through the wound. In patients with diabetes or circulation problems, these signs can escalate quickly. A non-healing wound lasting more than 30 days is considered chronic and warrants evaluation by a wound care specialist.
