HR 3649 United States House · 118th Congress

Veterans National Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment Act

HR 3649 establishes a 5-year pilot program to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to veterans diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The program, limited to three Veterans Health Administration networks, offers HBOT through VA-approved providers using FDA-approved or investigational medical devices. Funding comes solely from donations to a dedicated VA HBOT Fund, with no annual budget constraints. This bill directly affects eligible veterans seeking this specific treatment option, but does not guarantee long-term coverage beyond the pilot's five-year term.
