F A Q

What is In-home care?

In-home treatment, also known as home-based care, refers to medical services and procedures that are delivered directly to a patient's residence rather than in a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility. In the context of I Heal Wounds RX, in-home treatment means that our team of expert physicians brings advanced wound care services directly to the homes of our patients who are covered by Medicare.

What can I expect on my first treatment?

Your wound care physician may prescribe certain these therapies, including: Debridement (removal of dead or damaged tissue), specially chosen dressings and wraps, as well as Bio-engineered tissue substitutes.

What about insurance coverage?

At this time, our advanced wound treatments are covered by Medicare Part B. For any concerns or questions on this, please contact us directly.

How can I qualify for this treatment?

At this time, this treatment is only covered by medicare. The patient must also have been struggling with the wound for at least 30 days and tried conservative wound treatment with their doctor.

How do I know if I need wound care?

Wounds that are slow or difficult to heal would include...

• Diabetic wounds that are slow-to-heal or not healing
• Surgical wounds that have opened (or "dehisced")
• Wounds caused by poor circulation (arterial insufficiency)
• Skin damage or open sores caused by radiation treatment
• possibly even many years ago that is now causing the skin and tissue to "break down"
• Skin grafts or surgical flaps that are not healing post-surgery
• Bone infection (osteomyelitis)
• Crush injuries from an accident
• Damage to internal tissue (soft tissue radionecrosis) or bone (osteoradionecrosis) that causes pain or discomfort which resulted from radiation (radiation cystitis, proctitis, or necrosis)
