Bill > HB1120

This bill extends Indiana's hyperbaric oxygen treatment pilot program for veterans with traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress disorder until June 30, 2027. The program, which provides free hyperbaric oxygen treatment to eligible veterans, will now be funded by the military family relief fund after the Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs exhausts its initial funding. The funding will cease if the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs expands its coverage of hyperbaric oxygen treatment to include providers in Indiana. The bill modifies existing law to clarify the funding source and program details, including requirements for provider participation, treatment plan approval, and reporting. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment involves a veteran receiving medical treatment in a hyperbaric chamber, ordered by a healthcare provider, to address specific service-related conditions. The program aims to provide therapeutic services to veterans without requiring co-pays, with providers billing the program at cost and prohibited from profiting from the services. The bill also requires quarterly status reports and a final study report to be prepared and distributed to state leadership and legislative committees.
