Specialists working for you Our team will work closely with your primary care physician. Your treatment plan will be developed by one of our staff physicians specializing in wound care, and a nurse case manager will be your primary contact at the Wound Healing Center. Medicare/Medicaid, most HMOs, and other private insurance companies cover most treatments. How to start healing 1. Generally the physician presently treating your wound will refer you to our Center. Or, you can make your appointment directly. 2. When you call for your first appointment, we’ll ask you a few questions about your wound and health in general. 3. Before beginning treatment, our team of doctors, nurses, and therapists will thoroughly evaluate your wound and review your health and medical history in order to determine how to best treat you. 4. Tests might be conducted to tell us more about your blood flow and skin condition as well as to determine if infection present. 5. Together with your physician, we’ll develop a treatment program based on our assessment of your special needs. Your program will likely involve regular visits to the Center. Your progress is meticulously documented, monitored and adjusted as necessary. 6. We are in constant communication with your doctor throughout your wound care. Once your wound is healed, you’ll return to your doctor for follow-up care. And of course, you’ll continue with your personal doctor for any related health conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
