  • INSURANCE BENEFITS & ELIGIBILITY CHECK

    If the patient is approved, SKP’s Medical Director and clinical staff will determine the Plan of Care for the patient’s initial visit.

    If the patient is not approved for our services, SKP Wound Care will reach out to your facility, to let them know that we cannot provide the care requested.

  • PLAN OF CARE BEGINS

    SKP Wound Care contacts the patient, and your team if applicable, to schedule their Initial Evaluation & Assessment.

    SKP will communicate and collaborate throughout the entire determined length of the Plan of Care with your team and all agencies/clinicians involved in the care and healing of the patient.
