📌 1. Is this covered by Medicare?

Yes. Medicare Part B covers our advanced wound care services, including biologic skin grafts, for eligible patients with non-healing wounds. Most patients pay little or no out-of-pocket cost.

💰 2. Will I have a copay?

If you have Medicare only, you may be responsible for 20% of the approved cost. Many patients have secondary insurance (like Medicaid or Medigap) that covers this. We’ll check your benefits and help you explore assistance if needed.

🧾 3. What about the Medicare deductible?

Medicare has a small annual deductible (about $250 in 2025). After that, Medicare covers 80% of wound care costs.

💉 4. Does the treatment hurt?

Not at all. The biologic graft is applied like a medical dressing — no cutting or stitching. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during treatment.

🔁 5. How many treatments will I need?

That depends on your wound. Some patients respond after one or two treatments; others may benefit from weekly visits over several weeks.

🩺 6. Do I need a referral from my doctor?

Not necessarily. Medicare does not require one, but we coordinate care with your doctor or facility staff if you’re in a home health or SNF setting.

✅ 7. Do I need prior authorization?

Original Medicare doesn’t require pre-auth for grafts. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, our team will handle all prior authorization steps for you.

🚐 8. Can you come to my location?

Yes. We offer mobile wound care. Our nurse practitioners come to your home, SNF, or assisted living facility — no travel needed.

📋 9. Am I eligible for this treatment?

If you have a wound lasting 30 days or more, and you have Medicare Part B or an equivalent plan, you may qualify. We'll confirm eligibility before starting treatment.
