Insurance

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 8th Element Hyperbaric Medicine is covered by most commercial health insurance carriers, including those managing most MediCal products. We are now also proud to accept Medicare for those recovering from cancer treatments and radiation injuries.

HBOT is approved for the treatment of “compromised flaps and grafts” resulting from complications of advanced gender affirmation surgeries. These gender-affirming surgical techniques, while necessary, are prone to a range of serious complications. Following surgery, utilizing the healing powers of hyperbaric oxygen therapy has proven to be incredibly successful. The benefits include:

Speeds surgical wound healing
Wards off infections
Increases circulation in injured postoperative tissues– critical for a successful flap or graft procedure
Comfortable, safe and noninvasive healing modality
Promotes superior tissue functionality
Improves scarring
Enhances desired cosmetic results

We Now Accept Medicare

We are pleased to announce that 8th Element now accepts Medicare! This includes coverage for individuals recovering from cancer treatments, particularly radiation injuries. Many of our patients benefit from HBOT to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve recovery after radiation therapy. We aim to make this vital treatment accessible to those who need it most.

A Supportive, Empowering Environment Created For The LGBTQ+ Community

At 8th Element Hyperbaric Medicine, we have created an environment to support people who are undergoing gender affirmation surgeries. We work closely with each of our patients, treating everyone with compassion, understanding, and respect. We understand you have embarked on an amazing journey, have researched all about it, and have some concerns about the outcome of your surgery. HBOT treatments have proven to enhance appearance, viability, and function after complex gender-affirming surgeries.

Enhance Your Journey to a New Life with HBOT

After your gender affirmation surgery, life is full of hope for the future. Avoiding complications is extremely important, not only due to the associated financial costs, but also due to health risks, anguish, and worries about the outcome of revision surgery.

With HBOT added to the post-operative healing regimen, you can expect a superior outcome, both functionally and aesthetically, along with a faster healing time. Talk to your surgeon about adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy to your care. As it is covered by most insurance plans, this non-invasive, painless healing therapy can help lead to results that bring you more joy and satisfaction in all the years ahead.
