TBI and PTSD Treatment Act

This measure would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to veterans who have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The therapy would be provided by medical providers approved under the VA’s Veterans Community Care Program, so eligible veterans could receive this care outside VA hospitals when appropriate. The bill’s purpose is clearly focused on making HBOT an available treatment option for these conditions within VA-supported care.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans diagnosed with TBI or PTSD.
• What changes: VA must furnish HBOT as a treatment option through authorized community care providers.
• When: The provided text does not specify timing or rollout details.
