HB 5590 requires freestanding hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities (which use pressurized oxygen chambers for medical treatment) to obtain state licensure. It directly affects facility owners, operators, medical directors, and safety coordinators by mandating specific qualifications, safety protocols (like NFPA 99 compliance), and accreditation standards. Facilities must publicly display licenses, accreditation, FDA-approved treatment indications, and safety rules, and provide patients with written information about risks, benefits, and insurance coverage limitations. The bill also requires facilities to document compliance with safety standards and patient consent forms detailing FDA-approved uses.
