S 9303 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Establishes a hyperbaric oxygen therapy pilot program

This bill creates a five-year pilot program to allow New York veterans with traumatic brain injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder to receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It authorizes licensed medical professionals to prescribe this treatment to eligible veterans residing in the state, provided the therapy follows accepted medical standards. The program requires providers to submit annual reports on cost and efficiency, with a final comprehensive report due by December 2030 to state officials. Additionally, the commissioner of health is tasked with creating any necessary rules to implement the program immediately upon the bill's passage.
