Establishes a hyperbaric oxygen therapy pilot program
This bill establishes a five-year pilot program in New York to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to veterans diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder. The program, managed by the state health commissioner, requires participating providers to submit annual reports on costs, effectiveness, and improvement suggestions, with a final evaluation report due by December 2031. Veterans must be New York residents with a diagnosis from an authorized medical professional (such as a physician or nurse practitioner) and receive therapy using FDA-approved devices. The bill defines key terms like "hyperbaric oxygen therapy" and specifies eligibility criteria without expanding existing healthcare coverage.
