HBOT has proven to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical disorders. The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) continuously reviews the evidence for using hyperbaric oxygen for disease processes. Every two years, the UHMS makes recommendations as to which of the diseases are amenable to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and accepted by third party payers for reimbursement. The current list of the UHMS accepted indications are as follows:

Air or Gas Embolism
Carbon Monoxide Intoxication
Clostridial Myonecrosis
Crush Injuries
Decompression Sickness
Enhancement of Healing in Select Problem Wounds
Exceptional Blood Loss (Anemia)
Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections
Osteomyelitis
Osteoradionecrosis
Skin Grafts and Flaps (Compromised)
Thermal Burns
