Value-based wound care solutions for risk-bearing providers
Providers organizations partner with us to achieve higher quality wound care at significantly reduced costs as their integrated, internal wound care provider. We improve and accelerate healing for patients by delivering medically necessary, individualized and evidenced-based wound care that is coordinated with primary care. Our clinical team delivers virtual and in-person care on your behalf as part of customized programs that guarantee substantial cost savings.
Overcome the challenges of wound care
Wound care costs are skyrocketing for risk-bearing providers because of siloed mobile specialists and outpatient centers doing high volumes of skin substitutes, debridements, and other wound care procedures instead of providing holistic, evidence-based wound care that is medically necessary. Provider groups need an internal solution they can trust that is an extension of their primary care teams.
Lots of wounds, especially among seniors
Risk-bearing groups face a rapidly growing population of patients with wounds in need of specialized care to promote healing and control cost. Our national population is growing older, sicker and living longer, making wound care a growing clinical concern.
High-cost external providers
PCP groups today refer most of their patients to a fragmented network of fee-for-service wound care centers and mobile wound clinics. In many cases, patients, particularly vulnerable seniors, are being targeted by these wound care groups unbeknownst to the patient’s primary care provider.
Siloed, uncoordinated care
Fee-for-service wound care providers operate in silos, which creates a disconnected, frustrating experience for members and providers. Good wound care is a well coordinated extension of primary care. Today it is hard to even get basic information from these other wound clinics operating without transparency.
Too many skin substitutes
The number one cause of rising wound care costs is skin substitutes that are being applied inappropriately and ineffectively in astronomical quantities. Motivated by perverse incentives, third-party wound care providers are exploiting patients for financial benefit in many cases.
Home care lacks capacity/expertise
Home care agencies are an important part of the solution but they cannot address the epidemic of wounds alone because the vast majority do not have certified wound care nurses or sufficient capacity. They require provider augmentation, training, support, and education.

By partnering with The Wound Company to bring wound care in-house, risk-bearing providers can unlock guaranteed savings of 25% or more in total wound care spending, heal wounds earlier and faster, streamline provider workflow, get continuous analytics on wounds and create a more unified patient experience.
