How do I prepare for a mobile wound care visit?

Have your insurance cards, current medication list, recent wound photos if available, and any prior wound care notes ready. Choose a well-lit room with a chair or bed where the wound can be exposed comfortably. Plan on the first visit lasting 60–90 minutes; follow-ups typically take 30–45 minutes.

Documents and items to have ready

Gathering a few items before the clinician arrives keeps the visit focused on care.

  • Front and back of all insurance cards (Medicare, Medigap, Medicare Advantage, Medi-Cal/Nevada Medicaid, commercial, workers' comp, VA)
  • List of all current medications, including over-the-counter and supplements
  • Allergy list
  • Names and phone numbers of primary care, podiatrist, vascular surgeon, or any specialists involved
  • Any prior wound care notes, vascular study results, or hospital discharge summaries

Setting up the space

Choose a chair, recliner, or bed in a well-lit room. Have a small towel available. The clinician brings all sterile supplies, dressings, instruments, and personal protective equipment. Pets do not need to be removed but should be in another room during the procedure. A family member or caregiver is welcome — and encouraged — to be present.
