We’ll discuss what to expect during future visits, and we’ll give you clear guidance on how to care for your wound between appointments.

Many major health insurance plans cover wound care services when they are medically necessary. Coverage may vary based on your plan, type of wound and number of visits allowed by your insurance provider. Our staff can help verify insurance coverage, explain benefits and answer questions before your first visit.

Referral requirements depend on your health insurance plan and the type of care you need. Some plans require a referral from a primary care provider (PCP), while others let you schedule directly with a wound care center. It’s important to check with your insurance provider before your visit. Our team can also help with referral and scheduling questions.
