6.5.2 Covered indications<br />

In Germany, <strong>the</strong>re is an invoicing code for HBOT in <strong>the</strong> OPS (“Operationen- und<br />

Prozedurenschlüssel”) (see Table 35). However, no value has yet been attributed to this<br />

code (according to personal communication from <strong>the</strong> Aachen University Clinic (U.<br />

Siekmann, January 2008) and <strong>the</strong> HBO-Zentrum Euregio Aachen). Therefore, currently,<br />

no single indication is nationally reimbursed by <strong>the</strong> legal insurance. Some hospitals,<br />

however, may have local contracts with insurers to reimburse a number of indications<br />

at an agreed fee.<br />
