New Patients - Nevada

Our Nevada wound team is delighted to bring compassionate, skilled wound care to the people in their communities.  Below, you will find our general referral guidelines as well as our online new patient intake form.

The Nevada location is currently providing care in the greater Reno area.

Our primary patient has Medicare, Part B coverage.  We do not require a medical referral but we do require our new patient intake form be completed in full.  Once we receive the referral, we will confirm insurance eligibility and complete the prior authorizations.

We look forward to being a dedicated part of your health care team.

Referral Guidelines:

  • Patients with non-healing wounds that have been present for more than 4 weeks.
  • Patients with open wounds that measure 1cm or greater.
  • The wound size has not reduced by more than 50% in the last 30 days.
  • Our primary patient has Medicare, Part B insurance

Insurance Clarifications

  • We are not considered home health and bill under Medicare, Part B.
  • Patients with traditional Medicare, Part A and Part B, can receive home health and our specialized wound care services simultaneously.
  • A Medicare ID number always starts with a numeric number, followed by a letter and is 11 digits long.  Example:  1EG4-TE5-MK72.
  • Medicare Advantage Plans, including Pacific Source Med Advantage, will not cover our treatment plan.
