New Patient Referral Form

Active Wound Healing will work together with your health care team, including home health, with the goal of healing your wound and improving your quality of life.  We strive to streamline the referral and new patient process to get patients scheduled within a week.    

While we accept most insurance plans, our primary patient has Medicare coverage. We do not require a medical referral but we do require the below information.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR NEW PATIENT REFERRAL FORM MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL TO INCLUDE ALL WOUND INFORMATION.  

Referral Guidelines:

Indications to refer a patient: 

  • Patients with non-healing wounds that have been present for more than 4-6 weeks.

  • Patients with open wounds that measure 1cm or greater.    

  • Patients with chronic wounds with nerve, tendon, bone or muscle exposed.

  • Patients with non-healing venous stasis ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, arterial ulcers, neuropathic ulcers, pressure injuries (previously called pressure ulcers), vasculitic ulcers, scleroderma ulcers and surgical or traumatic wounds.
