Freestanding hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities must obtain state licensure from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, with enforcement beginning 2 years after the act's effective date.

Facilities must meet accreditation standards from an approved organization or obtain a nonrenewable temporary permit for up to 13 months while working toward accreditation.

Each facility must appoint a medical director who is a licensed physician with certification in undersea and hyperbaric medicine, plus at least one safety coordinator with 40 hours of approved hyperbaric medicine training.

Facilities must publicly display licensure certificates, FDA-recognized indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and NFPA 99 lists of approved and prohibited items for use inside chambers.

Before treatment, patients must receive and sign acknowledgment of information on risks, benefits, FDA-approved indications, and a statement that insurance may not cover non-FDA-approved uses.
