Do I need a referral from my doctor?

It depends upon your insurance coverage. We do accept self referrals from patients, but your insurance may also require you to have a referral from your primary care physician.

Do all insurance companies pay for wound treatment?

Yes.

How long until I'm healed?

Our goal is to get your wound healed within 16 weeks. However, many of our patients are having success in a much shorter time. The national average for centers like ours is to heal 80 percent of wounds treated. Our healing rate is over 90 percent.
