Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who have already tried at least two evidence‑based treatment options. The bill also records findings about veteran suicide, urges consideration of non‑drug and non‑invasive treatments, and adds the new benefit to the chapter’s table of contents.
The law creates an eligibility rule (veteran with TBI or PTSD after two prior evidence‑based treatments) and places responsibility on the Secretary to provide HBOT, but it does not specify funding, implementation details, or clinical protocols. This will affect VA care delivery, program operations, and veterans seeking additional treatment options for TBI/PTSD.
