When standard care stalls, hyperbaric oxygen is often the next evidence-based step — and referring takes your staff about two minutes. Here's the complete playbook.
Indications that qualify
- Diabetic lower-extremity ulcers, Wagner Grade 3+, after 30 days of standard care
- Delayed radiation injury — soft tissue and osteoradionecrosis
- Chronic refractory osteomyelitis
- Compromised skin grafts and flaps
- Other UHMS-recognized indications — call us to discuss any case
What to send
Patient demographics, insurance information, relevant wound history or imaging, and your working diagnosis with ICD-10 if known. Fax to (949) 544-1544 or use the referral form on our For Physicians page. We handle benefits verification and prior authorization — typically within two business days.
Billing & codes
HBOT is billed under G0277 (per 30-minute interval) with facility code C1300. Your office bills nothing and loses nothing — the patient remains yours.
How co-management works
You receive progress notes at every phase of the treatment course, we flag anything that needs your attention immediately, and the patient returns to your care on completion. Questions about a borderline case? Call (949) 544-1544 and ask for our clinical coordinator — honest answers, fast.
