Learn about TAP HBOT OHIP coverageHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an OHIP-insured, FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that floods your bloodstream with 100% medical-grade oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure.
Inside TAP HBOT's pressurized chambers, your lungs absorb oxygen at concentrations impossible under normal atmospheric conditions. This creates a super-saturated plasma that delivers oxygen to the most ischemic tissues.
The oxygen flood triggers the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), signaling your body to build new capillary networks and restore circulation to damaged areas.
HBOT mobilizes bone marrow-derived stem cells and enhances fibroblast activity—accelerating wound closure, bone remodeling, and tissue regeneration from the inside out.
As an Ontario Health-approved facility, TAP HBOT provides hospital-grade hyperbaric medicine with no financial barriers to eligible patients. Your OHIP card is all you need to access advanced wound care.
TAP HBOT is an OHIP-insured facility. For all six approved conditions, Ontario residents with valid health cards pay nothing for consultation, treatment, or follow-up care. No hidden fees, no deductibles.
