Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Michigan: How to Find a Provider

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is available across Michigan at hospital-based wound care centers, academic medical centers, and standalone clinics. Michigan has strong academic health systems anchored in Ann Arbor and Detroit that include medically supervised HBOT programs. Here’s how to find an accredited provider near you.

Where to Find HBOT in Michigan

Hospital-based wound care centers are Michigan’s most common HBOT option. They’re affiliated with regional hospitals, staffed by hyperbaric-certified physicians, and typically covered by Medicare and commercial insurance for FDA-approved conditions.

Academic medical centers in Ann Arbor and Detroit run nationally recognized programs for complex wounds and medically indicated HBOT cases.

Standalone clinics operate in several Michigan cities. Verify physician credentials and chamber specifications before committing. Some standalone facilities use mild-pressure chambers that don’t meet the 2.0 ATA threshold for medical HBOT.

The best starting point: use the UHMS provider search at uhms.org. It lists accredited facilities across Michigan.

• 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?
