Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Nevada: How to Find a Provider

Nevada has two main population centers — Las Vegas and Reno — and both have hospital-based hyperbaric options. Las Vegas also has a larger-than-average wellness clinic market that offers HBOT for off-label purposes. Knowing the difference between medical-grade and wellness-grade hyperbaric services matters before you book anything.

Where to Find HBOT in Nevada

Hospital-based wound care centers are the most reliable source of accredited, insurance-covered HBOT in Nevada. These programs run under physician oversight, use chambers at medically appropriate pressures, and work directly with Medicare and commercial insurers on prior authorization.

University Medical Center (UMC) in Las Vegas is a major public teaching hospital and the trauma center for the region. Hospital-based wound care programs affiliated with UMC and other Las Vegas hospital systems treat patients with diabetic foot ulcers, radiation tissue damage, and other FDA-approved conditions.

Renown Health in Reno is the primary academic health system for northern Nevada. It serves patients from Reno, Sparks, and the surrounding rural areas of the Great Basin. A wound care program at a Renown-affiliated facility is your most direct path to hospital-based HBOT in northern Nevada.

Las Vegas also has a concentrated market of wellness and concierge clinics offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Many of these cater to athletes, anti-aging markets, or recovery from off-label conditions. These clinics are not hospitals and typically don’t work with insurance for FDA-approved indications. If you have a medical condition that qualifies for HBOT, confirm you’re talking to a hospital-based or physician-supervised program before proceeding.

Major Areas in Nevada Where HBOT Is Available

Las Vegas has the most options in the state. Hospital systems including UMC, Sunrise Health, and Valley Health System all have wound care infrastructure in the metro area. The wellness clinic market is large — vet any non-hospital provider carefully before booking.

Reno and Sparks are served primarily through Renown Health and Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center. Northern Nevada patients should start their search with these hospital systems. The Reno metro is the second-largest city in the state and has enough hospital infrastructure to support on-site hyperbaric services.

Rural Nevada — including Elko, Winnemucca, Ely, and Fallon — has limited or no local hyperbaric access. Patients in these areas travel to Reno or Las Vegas. For patients near the California border, Sacramento or the Bay Area may also be accessible.

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?

Nevada Medicaid (Check Up Nevada) coverage varies by condition and managed care plan. Contact the facility’s billing department to confirm coverage before scheduling.

Commercial insurers generally follow Medicare coverage criteria. Prior authorization is almost always required. Wellness clinics in Las Vegas typically do not work with insurance at all — payment is out of pocket.
