SB 1041: appropriation; hyperbaric oxygen therapy; veterans
Sponsor: Senator Rogers, LD 6
Committee on Military Affairs & Public Safety
Overview
Appropriates monies from the state General Fund (GF) in FY 2023 to the Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy for Military Veterans Fund (Fund).
History
The Fund, administered by the Department of Veterans' Services (DVS), is continuously
appropriated and non-lapsing (A.R.S. 41-610.01).
Monies in the Fund must be used to provide financial assistance to veterans for hyperbaric oxygen
therapy (A.R.S. 41-610.01).
DVS may seek reimbursement, by private insurance, of funds spent to pay for hyperbaric oxygen
therapy for a veteran if DVS discovers the therapy was fully or partially covered by private
insurance (A.R.S. 41-610.01).
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing 100 percent oxygen while in a hyperbaric chamber.
The air pressure inside is raised to a level that is higher than normal air pressure. The increased
air pressure in the chamber helps the lungs collect more oxygen (FDA).
