Coming to Lourdes for Wound Care: Other Frequently Asked Questions
Does coming to a Lourdes wound center mean I have to change doctors?
Not at all. In fact, the Lourdes' wound-care centers work with your personal physician just as conscientiously as all of Lourdes services do with referring primary physicians or medical specialists. In fact, this collaboration is especially important in wound care. The staff keeps patients and their doctors informed on all aspects of treatment with frequent progress reports. As patients receive treatments for their wounds at Lourdes specialized units, they also continue to receive care from their personal physician.
Does Insurance Cover Treatment?
Many health plans cover treatment at the Lourdes wound-care centers. Patients should contact either of the Lourdes centers, where the staff can help determine if their specific plan offers coverage.
What Can I Expect At The First Appointment?
The first appointment consists of an in-depth assessment by our wound care team, a review of the patient's medical history, blood tests or additional tests if needed and recommendations for a treatment plan. Patients should bring their medical records, insurance card and a list of all medications they are taking (and allergies) to the first appointment. Expect to spend several hours at the center for this initial visit.
