No — we are a clinical hyperbaric facility. Our chambers are medical-grade hard chambers, every session is supervised by trained clinical staff, and treatment is co-managed with your physician. We focus on evidence-based care, and patients also benefit from HBOT's recognized recovery and wellness effects.
Insurance
Does insurance cover HBOT?
Yes — we accept Kaiser Permanente, Medicare and most insurance plans for approved conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, radiation tissue injury, chronic osteomyelitis, and compromised grafts. We verify your benefits before your first visit at no cost.
Do you accept Kaiser insurance?
Yes. Pacific Hyperbarics — Monterey accepts Kaiser Permanente insurance for hyperbaric oxygen therapy for approved conditions. As with most HMO plans, Kaiser coverage usually requires a referral or authorization from your Kaiser physician — send us your member details and our team will verify your benefits and help coordinate the authorization before your first session, at no cost.

Treatment
What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)?
HBOT is a medical treatment in which you breathe 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber (typically 2.0–2.4 ATA). The pressure dissolves oxygen directly into your blood plasma, delivering it to tissue that isn't getting enough — which accelerates healing, fights infection, and stimulates new blood-vessel growth.
What happens during a session?
You rest comfortably inside a transparent acrylic chamber for about 90 minutes while breathing 100% oxygen. You can sleep, listen to music, or watch a show. A trained technician monitors you continuously, and you can communicate at any time.
How many treatments will I need?
A typical course for approved conditions is 30–40 sessions, usually one per weekday. Your exact protocol is set with your referring physician and reviewed as you progress.
Is HBOT safe?
HBOT has decades of clinical history and an excellent safety profile when delivered in medical-grade chambers under clinical supervision. The most common side effect is mild ear pressure, similar to a flight — our staff teach you simple techniques to equalize comfortably.
