Thanks for all the responses. They have been helpful. Just curious EzJim was your problem with the actual hyperbaric treatments or the billing? We went to visit a second hyperbaric treatment center in our area yesterday. The staff was pleasant, facility not the cleanest; men�s room definitely not clean per my husband, parking was difficult. They did appear willing to answer my questions. The only time slot they had available or anticipated having available anytime soon was at 7:00 AM � not my husband�s favorite time. Still couldn�t get a straight answer on what they actually charge per treatment. They needed to get the correct code in order to be able to tell us. I did ask about the major price difference between what I saw on the internet re: a place in FL and our local places and they told me that FL does a lot of �experimental� things with hyperbaric treatment such as trying to treat autism � I did know that they do try to use it for that and they also said that the places in FL don�t always meet the same standards as the hospital based programs. I just wish I knew the way to evaluate the one program vs. another. The first place my husband went seemed cleaner, easier parking, he didn�t like the physician as well, and they wouldn�t commit to an exact price after saying $1,800. per treatment, and they did not give him a tour. Second place not as clean, staff seemed nice, gave us a tour, still no definite price. There is about a 4 mile difference in the distances to them which would add up for the six weeks he will be going. Any magic way to really, really tell which the best place is? I don�t think the price difference is going to be significant, but who knows. Michael hopes to start somewhere on Monday. Thanks again for answering.
