Don't know about locations in MN, but I am starting HBOT here in Texas on Monday. Lots of hospitals have the chambers for wound treatment. I found my location by searching for "HBOT in Houston". Maybe you could do the same in your city.

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, and they DO cover it as long as you have a prescription from your doctor. Unfortunately, I have a $1000 deductible, so that is what my first treatment will cost. Then it is about $250 per treatment (my 20%) after that until I hit my out of pocket max of $4000.

You go for two hours per day five days per week for a month usually. Then the HBOT doctor decides if you need to go more. My PM doctor and I decided that because of the cost, I will go for ten treatments,and if I haven't seen any improvement, I will stop the treatments then. I plan on posting here if it works. My PM also said if it works for me, he has several other patients that he will recommend it to. Hope this helps you.
