Planning your visit
The center's operator page states that no referral is needed, although requirements can vary by insurance plan.
The first visit includes an evaluation of the wound, medical history and factors that may affect healing, after which a wound care specialist discusses treatment options and sets a personalized care plan. Visit frequency depends on the wound and the plan; many patients are seen weekly. Patients receiving home health or skilled nursing services can often be seen as well, and the team works with referring physicians, home health agencies and skilled nursing facilities to coordinate care. Before the appointment, the team can verify insurance benefits and explain any authorization requirements.
