Where can I get reliable SPECT scan/HBOT/SPECT eval?

[Guest guest]

AT LAST, I have a prescription from my neurologist for a SPECT scan/ HBOT

dive/SPECT scan evaluation. Medicare I am advised will pay for this. I need

advice about where I can get this done. It has to be in the US, I'm sure, to get

Medicare to reimburse, and unless I'm willing to pay extra (which I can't

afford) I need to find someone who accepts Medicare. Any suggestions? Thanks!

case for hbot for medicaid. Now I take my daughter to an adult neuro. After the

last 40 last summer, I reduced her meds 33%. She now takes 2 pills per day

instead of 3. Sue
