Research, Information, and Assistance

At Maryland Hyperbaric Oxygen Center, we encourage you to fully investigate hyperbaric oxygen therapy and how it can affect your specific condition, rates of recovery, contraindications and side effects, and the latest advances prior to initiating this specialized form of alternative therapy. Below are links to websites hosted by members of the medical, undersea, and hyperbaric community who may assist you in your research endeavors. For conditions which are not covered by your medical insurance, there are nonprofit organizations which may provide additional assistance with special needs. If you need any help filling out your insurance forms for reimbursement, please bring them with you and someone in our office will assist you in filling out your forms. Please contact us directly with any additional questions you may have.
