Insurance Coverage: Most treatment options are covered by
Medicare/Medicaid, HMOs and other private insurance plans.
What to Expect
- Your current physician will refer you to our Center, or you
can make your appointment directly.
- When you call for your first appointment, we'll ask you a few
questions about your wound and your health in general.
- Before you begin your treatment, our team of doctors, nurses
and therapists will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review
your health and medical history.
- Tests may be conducted to tell us more about your blood flow
and tissue oxygenation, as well as to determine if there's any
infection present.
- Together with your physician, we'll develop a treatment
program based on our assessment of your unique needs. Your
program will likely involve regular visits to the Center. Your
progress will be meticulously documented and adjusted as
necessary.
- We will be in constant communication with your doctor
throughout your care. Once your wound is healed, you'll return
to your doctor for follow-up care. You'll continue with your
doctor for any related ailments, such as diabetes and
hypertension.
What to Bring to Your First Appointment
- A list of any medications you're currently taking
- A list of any allergies you have that you're aware of
- Your medical records, including x-rays if you have them
- Insurance forms or cards
