The Advanced CareTech
wound care program.

The program

What mobile wound care means

Advanced CareTech is a mobile specialty wound care program. Licensed nurse practitioners and physicians travel to the patient — hospital, rehabilitation center, skilled nursing facility, assisted living community, private home, or hospice setting — instead of requiring transport to a wound clinic. Care continues in the setting where the patient already lives and recovers, which removes transportation barriers and keeps treatment consistent after discharge.

Who it serves

Patients with chronic, non-healing wounds

The program is built for wounds that have stalled under traditional care. Typical referrals include pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, surgical wounds that have dehisced, and traumatic wounds that are not progressing.

• Wound present 30 days or longer
• Not responding to traditional wound care
• Traditional Medicare or Traditional Medicaid beneficiary
• Wound accessible for weekly in-person assessment

The technology

Advanced amniotic membrane therapy

Amniotic membrane allografts are placed directly on the wound bed as part of a broader treatment plan. The membrane provides a biologic scaffold that supports the body's own healing process while the clinical team manages debridement, offloading, infection risk, moisture balance, and dressing selection at each visit.

Each visit

What a week of care includes

Care is delivered on a weekly cadence so the wound is measured, photographed, and reassessed on a predictable schedule rather than only when a problem is escalated.

• Weekly provider visit at the patient's location
• Wound assessment, measurement, and photo documentation
• Membrane application and dressing management
• Complete clinical documentation shared with the referring team
• Direct communication with nursing and case management staff

Cost

No cost to the patient or the facility

For qualified Traditional Medicare or Traditional Medicaid beneficiaries, the program is billed to Medicare or Medicaid. There is no cost to the patient and no cost to the referring facility. Facilities do not carry supply, staffing, or equipment costs for the wound care visits.

Exclusions

When the program is not appropriate

Some clinical situations need to be resolved before advanced therapy can begin. These are screened at intake so no one waits on a referral that cannot proceed.

• Active cancer at or near the wound site
• Active, untreated wound infection
• A membrane wrap applied too recently
• Patients not covered by Traditional Medicare or Traditional Medicaid

Documentation

What a complete referral includes

A referral moves fastest when the clinical picture arrives with it. The items below are what the medical review team needs in order to approve treatment and schedule the first visit.

• Physician referral or order
• Signed patient consent
• Current medication list
• Recent nursing or wound care notes
• A clear photo of the wound
• Insurance information

For care teams

Where the program fits in your workflow

Wound care is often the piece that slows a discharge or consumes disproportionate nursing time. A mobile program absorbs the visits, the supplies, and the documentation, which shortens coordination time after discharge and improves continuity of care across settings.
