Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Arizona: How to Find a Provider

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is available across Arizona at hospital-based wound care centers, academic medical centers, and standalone hyperbaric clinics. The Phoenix metro area has the highest concentration of providers, but Tucson and surrounding communities also have options. Here’s how to find an accredited provider near you.

Where to Find HBOT in Arizona

Arizona’s HBOT landscape ranges from large hospital programs to small wellness studios. Knowing the difference matters.

Hospital-based wound care centers are affiliated with regional hospitals and staffed by hyperbaric-certified physicians. These are the most reliable starting point for anyone seeking HBOT for a medical condition covered by insurance.

Academic medical centers in Phoenix and Tucson run formal hyperbaric medicine programs through university-affiliated hospitals. These centers treat complex wounds and other FDA-approved conditions.

Standalone clinics are growing in number across the Phoenix metro and Scottsdale area, often targeting wellness and athletic recovery markets. Some are physician-supervised. Others are not. Verify credentials before booking.

The best starting point: use the UHMS (Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society) provider search at uhms.org. It lists accredited facilities across Arizona.

What to Ask a Potential Provider

Before you book, ask every provider these questions.

• Is this a medical-grade hyperbaric chamber (2.0 ATA or higher)?
• Is there a board-certified or credentialed hyperbaric physician on staff?
• Is my condition FDA-approved for HBOT?
• Does your facility work with my insurance for prior authorization?
• Is the facility UHMS-accredited?

Arizona has a growing wellness HBOT market, especially in Scottsdale. Don’t assume a clinic is medically supervised just because it looks upscale. Read our guide to your first HBOT session before you go.
