Our Wound Care Experts Unlock Revenue and Cost Savings For Home Health Agencies
The Wound Company helps the leading Home Care Agencies in America deliver higher quality wound care to their patients while improving PDGM revenue and profits through better documentation and management of wounds.
Through our consultative services, home care agencies are able to better assess and treat wounds, correctly document and capture comorbidity adjustments, avoid LUPAs, and improve patient satisfaction. In the process, we reduce the risk of lawsuits for wound care and state survey issues or complaints.
Our Wound Care Provider Services billable to insurance also help home cares get the right, actionable wound care orders, correct assessments, and guidance at the start of care. Our providers remain engaged through discharge for care continuity, helping your agency rapidly heal wounds and prevent hospitalizations.

The challenges of wound care for home health agencies
Our certified wound and ostomy specialists are an extension of your home health team. We integrate seamlessly with home health nurses, aides, therapists, and case workers. Our services include wound assessments, customized wound management plans, ongoing follow-up care, and education for providers.
Most importantly, we’re a reliable resource for home health agencies faced with the mounting challenges of chronic wound care:
Incorrect Documentation
Assessing and staging wounds has financial implications for home care agencies. Staff without specialized training and certification need additional support.
Compliance Risks
Mobile wound clinics seeking referrals from home care agencies, over-debriding wounds and applying unnecessary skin substitutes are implicating home care agencies in fraud, waste and abuse. Protect your agency by partnering with us to rise to the challenge of wound care appropriately.
Dissatisfied patients
Patients managing chronic or post-surgical wounds are confused and overwhelmed. They want to know they’re taking the right steps, and they look to their home health providers for this guidance.
Lack of access
People in remote or medically underserved areas may not have access to advanced wound care. Our virtual solution connects patients and providers to skilled experts, wherever they are.
High costs
Home health agencies spend valuable time and money on wound care staffing, supplies, and clinical documentation. We ease the strain on your resources by providing support in all of these areas.
