<strong>KCE</strong> Reports 74 Hyperbaric Oxygenation Therapy 79<br />

As for these rare diseases a high level of evidence cannot be expected, the CVZ applies<br />

an adjusted evaluation procedure. For these diseases, the CVZ has based its evaluation<br />

on the state of research and practice within the international professional group. The<br />

CVZ has not evaluated the necessity and effectiveness of the treatment. This needs to<br />

be evaluated case by case by the insurer. It concerns the following indications for which<br />

the effectiveness of the therapy needs to be evaluated at individual level by the insurer:<br />

• Relapse neuroblastoma grade IV<br />

• Osteoradionecrosis at other places than the mandible<br />

• Radionecrosis soft tissue other than head/neck/pelvic<br />

• Surgery and implants of irradiated tissues other than the head/neck<br />

area<br />

• Pneumatosis intestinalis.<br />

6.1.3 Non-covered indications<br />

HBOT is not part of the insured care for the following indications, as there is neither<br />

sufficient scientific proof nor a broad acceptation within the professional group:<br />

• Acute deafness<br />

• Tinnitus<br />

• Non-diabetic ulcers, such as decubitus, arteriosclerotic and venous<br />

ulcers<br />

• Cerebral hypoxia, traumatic or after a stroke<br />

• Burns<br />

• Ischemic ocular disorders/abnormalities<br />

• Radionecrosis of the central nervous system<br />

• Multiple sclerosis (based on Cochrane review 2004)<br />

• Acute coronary syndrome (based on Cochrane review 2005)<br />

• Malign otitis externa (based on Cochrane review 2005)<br />

• Acute traumatic brain damage (based on Cochrane review 2004)<br />

• Anoxic encephalopathy<br />

6.1.4 Reimbursement level<br />

The NZA (Nederlandse Zorg Authoriteit) published the following reimbursement price<br />

for treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (declaration code 39995) per session per patient<br />

(independent from whether alone or in group) f:<br />

• Hospital costs: €160.00<br />

• Fee for specialists: €0.00<br />

For hospitals, this amount is fixed and compulsory. For ZBCs (Zelfstandige<br />

Behandelcentra), clinics and independent specialists this is a maximum amount and in<br />

practice many insurers only pay about 75% of this maximum (based on expert<br />

communication).<br />

6.2 FRANCE<br />

France had a population of 60.87 million people in 2005 on an area of 549 000 km 2 . g<br />

There are 23 civil and 4 military centres offering HBOT (Table 28).<br />
