S 1715 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a hyperbaric oxygen therapy pilot program

S 1715 establishes a five-year pilot program in New York State to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (a treatment using high-pressure oxygen) to veterans diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder. The program requires the state health commissioner to collect annual data from participating providers on costs and effectiveness, with a final report due by December 31, 2031, to state officials. Eligible veterans must be New York residents with a diagnosed condition and receive a prescription from a licensed medical professional. The program aims to evaluate the therapy's cost and efficiency for veterans through this data-driven assessment.
