Which hospitals near Chandler offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Chandler is served by Dignity Health (now CommonSpirit Health) and Banner Health facilities in the East Valley. Chandler Regional Medical Center (Dignity Health) is one of the main hospitals in the area. For the most current list of hyperbaric programs, use the UHMS provider directory at uhms.org — hospital wound care program availability changes and a current directory search is more reliable than static listings.

Does insurance cover HBOT in Chandler?

Medicare Part B and commercial insurers may cover HBOT for FDA-approved conditions at participating facilities in Chandler. Common covered indications include diabetic foot ulcers, chronic bone infections, and radiation tissue damage. Prior authorization is typically required. Wellness HBOT isn't covered. Rates and coverage rules change; verify with your insurer and facility billing team before starting treatment.

Is Chandler a good location for HBOT or should I look at other Phoenix metro cities?

Chandler's position in the East Valley puts you within a reasonable drive of HBOT options in Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, and Scottsdale. If you need a highly specialized program — such as for radiation necrosis or a complex non-healing wound — you may want to look at larger academic programs in central Phoenix. For most patients with standard qualifying conditions, the East Valley has solid options. Ask your referring physician for a recommendation.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Chandler, AZ

Chandler is a growing suburb in the Phoenix East Valley with a strong healthcare presence. Chandler Regional Medical Center, part of Dignity Health (now CommonSpirit Health), is the primary hospital in the city. Banner Health facilities also serve the surrounding area. Chandler residents have solid access to East Valley clinical programs and can reach Phoenix metro providers without a long drive.

Finding HBOT Providers in Chandler

Chandler Regional Medical Center is Chandler’s flagship hospital and is part of Dignity Health / CommonSpirit Health, one of the larger Catholic health systems in the country. Large hospital systems like this often operate wound care programs that include HBOT for qualifying patients, though specific program availability changes.

Banner Health facilities serve the broader East Valley, including Chandler, and are another source of clinical HBOT referrals. If your physician is in the Banner or Dignity Health network, ask directly whether they can refer you to a hyperbaric program within that system — staying in-network matters for insurance purposes.

For verified, currently active providers, use the UHMS provider directory. The East Valley has enough density that most Chandler residents will find a clinical option without traveling to central Phoenix, though that option is always available if needed.

Insurance and Medicare Coverage in Chandler

Medicare Part B may cover HBOT at Medicare-participating facilities in Chandler for qualifying conditions including diabetic foot ulcers, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, delayed radiation injury, and decompression sickness. A physician must document medical necessity, and the facility must be Medicare-approved.

Arizona Medicaid (AHCCCS) coverage varies by plan. If you’re on an AHCCCS plan, your provider’s billing office can verify whether HBOT is a covered benefit for your specific condition before treatment starts. Don’t assume coverage — get it confirmed in writing if possible.

Commercial insurers covering Chandler residents — Dignity Health’s network partners, Banner|Aetna, BCBS of Arizona — may cover HBOT for FDA-approved indications with prior authorization. Staying in-network when possible keeps your out-of-pocket costs down significantly.

Off-label HBOT for wellness or recovery isn’t covered. Those sessions are self-pay. See the full insurance guide and cost guide. Medicare rates change annually — always verify with your facility’s billing team.

What to Expect at Your First Session

At a hospital-based program in Chandler or the East Valley, your first visit starts with a physician consultation. You’ll review your medical history, discuss your diagnosis, and get cleared for HBOT. Safety protocols are explained: cotton clothing only, no petroleum products, and a technique for equalizing ear pressure during pressurization.

Sessions run 90–120 minutes in a clinical setting. If you’re getting HBOT five days a week (common for wound care protocols), the routine becomes familiar quickly. Most patients find the experience straightforward after the first couple of sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get HBOT in Chandler without a referral? For hospital-based clinical HBOT, you need a physician referral. Insurance won’t cover it without one, and reputable programs won’t treat you without one. If you’re looking for wellness HBOT without a referral, standalone clinics in Scottsdale and the broader East Valley may accommodate that — but those sessions are self-pay.

What conditions qualify for HBOT near Chandler? FDA-approved conditions include diabetic foot ulcers, chronic refractory osteomyelitis, delayed radiation injury (including radiation cystitis and proctitis), gas gangrene, decompression sickness, and others. Your physician can review the full list and determine whether your condition qualifies. See our conditions overview for more information.

How far is Chandler from Phoenix HBOT facilities? Central Phoenix is roughly 20–30 minutes from Chandler under normal traffic conditions. That’s manageable for most patients — though if you’re doing daily sessions, rush-hour timing matters. East Valley options in Mesa, Gilbert, and Tempe may be closer and easier to reach on a daily basis.
