Medical-grade HBOT has strong evidence for UHMS-approved indications (diabetic foot ulcers, radiation injury, CO poisoning, decompression sickness). Mild hyperbaric and EWOT in Marietta, Georgia have much weaker evidence and sit in the wellness category. Georgia medical board delegation and medspa oversight rules shapes which clinics can bill insurance and which must operate cash-pay.

Regulatory context
FDA clears hyperbaric chambers as Class II medical devices under 21 CFR 878.5550. FDA has approved hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 14 specific indications aligned with the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS). Use for those indications is evidence-based and generally covered by Medicare and commercial insurance when documentation supports medical necessity. Any use outside the 14 approved indications is considered off-label and is not FDA-approved. FDA issued consumer updates in 2013 and again in 2021 warning patients and providers against marketing HBOT for unapproved conditions such as autism, cancer, Alzheimer disease, and long COVID.
The Georgia Composite Medical Board investigates advertising and scope complaints. The Georgia Department of Community Health licenses certain healthcare facilities. CMS MAC Palmetto GBA adjudicates HBOT claims in Georgia and denies claims without documentation of a UHMS indication. The Georgia Attorney General enforces the Fair Business Practices Act against deceptive medical claims.
