How much does mobile wound care cost?

Most patients pay $0–$300 out of pocket per visit when using Medicare Part B with a supplement. Without insurance, a single in-home wound visit typically runs $250–$600, and advanced therapies (skin substitutes, NPWT) are billed separately. Healix360 verifies coverage and provides a written cost estimate before the first visit.

What you actually pay with Medicare

After the annual Part B deductible ($257 in 2025), Original Medicare pays 80% of the approved amount and you owe the remaining 20% coinsurance. A Medigap (supplement) policy such as Plan G or Plan N absorbs that 20%, leaving most patients with $0 at the time of service. Dual-eligible patients with Medi-Cal or Nevada Medicaid also typically pay nothing because the secondary payer covers the coinsurance.

Typical billing for an in-home wound visit

A single mobile wound care encounter is billed using the standard outpatient codes Medicare and commercial plans already recognize — there is no separate 'mobile' or 'travel' fee.

  • Evaluation & management visit (CPT 99202–99215): Medicare-allowed amount roughly $90–$220
  • Surgical debridement (CPT 11042–11047): roughly $100–$350 per encounter
  • Skin substitute application (CPT 15271–15278): $150–$400 plus the product (Q-codes, often $500–$1,800 per application)
  • Negative pressure wound therapy supplies and pump rental: covered under Part B DME when criteria are met

If you have no insurance

A self-pay first visit is typically $250–$600 depending on complexity. Healix360's coordination team builds a written cost estimate and discusses payment options before any care begins. There is never a charge for the intake call or insurance verification itself.
