§ 1-291.5. Approval of treatment plan and funding--Time limit for treatment and submission of bills
Any Oklahoma veteran who has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and prescribed hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) by a medical professional authorized under Section 2 of this act may receive HBOT at any facility in the state that has a hyperbaric chamber and provides treatment in accordance with Section 2 of this act.
Prior to receiving treatment, a treatment plan for the TBI by HBOT shall be reviewed and conform to a plan approved by the Oklahoma State University Center for Aerospace and Hyperbaric Medicine. The facility seeking reimbursement from the fund shall request approval for funding from the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. Upon receipt of an approved request for treatment, the funds for treatment shall be set aside and used to ensure payment in full for the veteran's treatment. If there is not enough money in the fund to set aside for treatment reimbursement, the Director of Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall deny approval of the request.
At the conclusion of six (6) months of no treatment and/or the lack of submission of any bills, the Director of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services shall advise the veteran and the participating facility that the funding reserved for the HBOT shall expire within ninety (90) days if no contact is made by the facility that treatment is scheduled and/or continued. Should the facility fail to contact the Office of Management and Enterprise Services with the information that treatment is scheduled and/or continued, then the monies reserved for treatment of that veteran shall be released and made available to another veteran meeting the requirements of this act.
