Irish Life Health and OxyGeneration

 
 

OxyGeneration is an approved provider of non-emergency Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (“HBOT”) for Irish Life Health Members.

Covered Conditions

Members on qualifying plans can claim for HBOT sessions regarding the following conditions:

  • Arterial insufficiency — treatment to prevent amputation

  • Compromised skin grafts and flaps

  • Radiation necrosis, myoradionecrosis, osteoradionecrosis and other soft tissue radiation necrosis

  • Chronic refractory osteomyelitis

  • Non-healing infected and ischaemic deep wounds/ulcerations unresponsive to at least 6 months of wound care

  • Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL), where HBOT begins within two weeks of onset

Post-Emergency Continuity of Care

Many of the emergency indications require 30 or more sessions of treatment.

Patients are sometimes discharged from the hospital prior to completing their course of HBOT and return for the remaining HBOT as outpatients.

OxyGeneration provides non-hospital based HBOT for clients who have been discharged from hospital but who are stable and no longer require medical supervision during HBOT but require further sessions to complete their course for:

  • Acute air or gas embolism

  • Acute carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation

  • Acute traumatic peripheral ischaemia, including crush injuries

  • Exceptional blood loss anaemia where transfusion is not possible

Accessing Treatment

  • Referral: Must be from an Irish Life Health registered Hospital Consultant

  • Plan Eligibility: Cover is typically available on Advanced Plans (Level 2 and above), covering Hospital Lists 1, 2, 3, A, B, and C.

  • Verification: Please check your policy or contact Irish Life Health at 01 562 5100 to confirm your specific level of coverage prior to booking.
