When a referral is sent to Woundtech by a patient’s PCP, hospital, home health agency, or healthcare plan, the patient will receive a confirmation call within 24 hours acknowledging receipt of the referral. After insurance eligibility is verified, a Woundtech Patient Care Navigator will contact the patient to schedule their start of care. This typically occurs within 2-3 business days of receiving the referral.

During your first visit, a Woundtech provider will perform a comprehensive assessment of your overall medical condition, your wound, and the most effective treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They will discuss their findings, explain the treatment plan, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Treatment usually begins during the initial visit and continues with one to three visits per week until your wound achieves optimal healing.

Woundtech provides services in a wide range of locations, including over 50% of Florida, the three largest cities in Texas, Las Vegas, Southern California, and select areas in Arizona and Utah. For a detailed list of service areas, please visit our referral page.

Woundtech providers are advanced practitioners, such as Physician Assistants (PAs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and Podiatrists (DPMs), who specialize in advanced wound care. They are trained to independently assess wounds, develop treatment plans, perform procedures like debridement, and prescribe medications as needed.

In contrast, home health nurses primarily follow treatment orders from physicians or advanced practitioners. Their scope of care typically includes wound dressing changes and notifying the treating provider if changes in the wound condition are observed. Woundtech providers ensure comprehensive, hands-on wound care management directly in the patient's home, offering a higher level of expertise and care coordination.

Referring patients to advanced wound care services early increases the chances of healing and reduces the risk of severe complications. If you're uncertain, contact Woundtech to conduct an assessment.

Patients should be referred to Woundtech if they present with one or more of the following:
