Deb, I have had 125 HBOT all covered by my health insurance. Most patients will get 30 HBO for dental work or osteoradionecrosis (done death). Usually oral cancer patients who have HBO do whats called Marx Protocol which basically is 20 prior to procedure and 10 after. Check with your insurance company, or some patients negotiate a reduced price directly with the hospital and make payments.
