Bill Summary
Amend KRS 217.930, 217.934, and 217.936 to include post-traumatic stress disorder as a qualifying medical condition for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Kentucky law to include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a qualifying medical condition for veterans to receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT is defined as breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber to treat or cure diseases. The bill clarifies that a veteran can be eligible for HBOT if they have a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury or PTSD, a prescription for HBOT from their healthcare provider, and provide written informed consent. This consent process requires an explanation of treatments, potential outcomes, and acknowledgment of financial responsibility for the therapy, ensuring veterans are fully aware of the implications before undergoing HBOT for PTSD.
