Find HBOT providers in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Bellin Health, HSHS St. Vincent, insurance coverage, and what to expect at your first session in northeast Wisconsin.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Green Bay, WI
Green Bay is northeastern Wisconsin’s largest city and the regional hub for medical care in that part of the state. The city has two established health systems with hospital-level infrastructure. Patients from surrounding rural counties — and occasionally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan — come to Green Bay for specialty care that isn’t available closer to home.
Finding HBOT Providers in Green Bay
Bellin Health is one of Green Bay’s two primary health systems. Bellin Hospital is the main campus, and the system has built a reputation as a strong regional provider for north and northeast Wisconsin. Bellin’s wound care programs serve the local population and patients referred from smaller communities in the region.
HSHS St. Vincent Hospital is a Catholic health facility operated by Hospital Sisters Health System. HSHS has a significant Wisconsin presence across multiple cities, and St. Vincent is the flagship Green Bay facility. Like Bellin, St. Vincent has established surgical and wound care services with the capacity to support an HBOT program.
Don’t assume either program is currently active or taking new patients based on general information. HBOT programs change. Check the UHMS provider directory at uhms.org for currently accredited facilities and call the wound care department directly to confirm availability.

Insurance and Medicare Coverage in Green Bay
HBOT coverage in Green Bay follows the same federal rules that apply throughout the United States.
Medicare Part B covers HBOT for 14 FDA-approved conditions at hospital outpatient facilities. Bellin Health and HSHS St. Vincent both have qualifying outpatient settings. Your cost is typically 20% coinsurance after the Part B deductible. Medicare rates change annually — ask the billing team for a current per-session estimate before you start.
Wisconsin Medicaid (ForwardHealth) may cover HBOT for FDA-approved conditions depending on your specific managed care plan and the facility’s network participation. Prior authorization is standard. Contact the billing department before scheduling.
Commercial insurers in the Green Bay market — Anthem, Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative, Quartz, and others — follow Medicare criteria for HBOT. Prior authorization is almost always required. The facility’s billing team manages that process.
Michigan-based patients should check network status before scheduling at a Wisconsin facility. Different state plan networks apply.
Off-label HBOT is not covered by any insurance plan.

What to Expect at Your First Session
Green Bay’s hospital-based HBOT programs work the same way as those at larger Wisconsin centers. A physician evaluation comes first. Your care team confirms your diagnosis, reviews your medications and medical history, and screens for contraindications. Then your treatment plan is set.
Sessions run 90 minutes to two hours. Most treatment plans involve daily sessions on weekdays over several consecutive weeks. Total sessions depend on your condition and how you respond to treatment. Wear cotton clothing. No lotions, perfumes, or petroleum-based products on treatment days. Leave electronics outside the chamber.
