How does the Wound Care Miami-Dade referral process work?

How quickly can a wound care provider visit me at home?
In most cases, the providers we connect you with can schedule an initial evaluation within 24 to 48 hours after receiving your physician's order and verifying your insurance coverage. Timely care is a priority for our network.
What types of wounds do the providers in your network treat?
The licensed professionals in our network are experienced in treating a wide range of complex wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers (bedsores), venous and arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, infected wounds, slow-healing wounds, and managing Wound VAC therapy.
Does Medicare Part B cover in-home wound care?

Do I need to be "homebound" to receive care?
