Hospital/Nursing Home Services
We provide in-surgery rigid dressings while the patient is
still under anesthesia. We will change the dressing within 5 days and provide
another rigid dressing to be changed in 5 days. This will speed up the healing
process and prevent contractures enabling early ambulation thru use of a
temporary/preparatory prosthesis. This gives the most bang for the buck to the
patient's insurance and rehab dollars.
Being the largest privately owned provider in the Mid-South, we have EXCLUSIVE contracts with
many local hospitals to provide in-patient services.

When a Medicare or Medicaid patient is an in-patient in the hospital, the
hospital must be charged for any items delivered. This is the law with only one
exception. If that patient is discharged home the day of service. If they
are discharged to another facility, the place of delivery must be charged. there
are not exceptions to that rule. the hospitals are paid thru their DRG
prospective payment for those services under the admission rules set aside by
Medicare/Medicaid.
Nursing Home Services
We cover hundreds of miles every month visiting Nursing Home patients. We
partner with the Physical Therapy Department of each facility. By partnering, we
are able to accomplish many things.
- Reliable service with adjustable scheduling-we can be at the facility
every week or bi-monthly on a set schedule
- Increased independence for the patient
- Thru adding mobility to the patient, we actually increase the lifespan of
the patient
- Reduction in bedsores and bladder/lung infections
- Increased control of diabetes thru higher activities
- Adding additional patients to the Physical Therapy roster by allowing gait
training
- Protective services- eg. diabetic shoes and insoles, contracture
management, plus many others
When a Medicare/Medicaid patient is in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF),
we are allowed to provide Prosthetic services ONLY. We are NOT allowed to
provide any Orthotic services until they are in a part B bed unless the
facility agrees payment. The Prosthetic services that are not covered under a
part A bed include, stump socks/shrinkers or any suspension items such as belts
or knee sleeves.
If you are with a Nursing Facility or have family as an
in-patient in a Nursing Facility and want to discuss our patient care, please
call and we will be more than happy to offer our services.
