I'm glad you are feeling better and wish your mom could get past this infection. I had no problems getting my insurance company to pay 100% for the HBO treatments as it was deemed medically necessary for the extraction of teeth. With her having bone exposed and an infection, I would imagine it will be approved.
Take care,
Minnie
