Do I Need a Prescription?
For Home Use
-
No prescription is required to purchase or operate Airvida soft shell or hard shell chambers operating at 2.0 ATA or below.
-
Users simply sign a medical acknowledgment form confirming that they’ve consulted a physician and been cleared for use.
For Clinical Use
-
Medical and wellness professionals (e.g., MDs, chiropractors, naturopaths) do not need a prescription to purchase.
-
However, clinics should have a certified hyperbaric technician (CHT) on staff or complete approved safety and operational training.
-
Certification programs are available and recommended for clinical operators.
For Insurance or Reimbursement
-
Airvida chambers are typically not covered by insurance.
-
In cases of HSA/FSA eligibility or reimbursement requests, a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from a licensed provider may be helpful.
