'Physician attendance' for HBOT?

[Guest guest]

What are the rules and/or policy on physician attendance during HBOT? It seems

like this was argued some time ago and settled with an agreement/understanding

that a physician did not have to be in attendance for Medicare and/or other

third party reimbursement.

I'm asking because it looks like a physician must be in attendance for

reimbursement by Georgia Medicaid. This stipulation consequently has resulted in

a minimal Medicaid coverage of HBOT in Georgia (which is probably the goal), and

even then the doctor where we'd taken Jimmy before (Dr Glenn Goodhart) would

only treat Medicaid patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Next, I learned Dr Goodhart is no longer practicing Hyperbaric Medicine.

I need to get the specifics on the physician attendance requirements because

Georgia Medicaid has finally agreed to pay for HBOT for Jimmy, according to

statements last week from the attorney representing Georgia Medicaid.

Thank you,
