Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in New Jersey: How to Find a Provider

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is available across New Jersey at hospital-based wound care centers, academic medical affiliates, and standalone clinics. New Jersey’s major health systems serve a densely populated state, and northern NJ residents are also within reach of providers in New York City. Here’s how to find an accredited provider near you.

Where to Find HBOT in New Jersey

Hospital-based wound care centers are the most common HBOT option in New Jersey. 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 and large health system affiliates serve the Newark, Camden, and Morristown areas with medically supervised programs for complex wound care and other FDA-approved indications.

Standalone clinics operate in several New Jersey communities. Verify physician credentials and chamber pressure ratings before committing. Mild-pressure chambers at 1.3 ATA don’t qualify as medical HBOT.

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

What to Ask a Potential Provider

Before you book, ask every potential 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?
