How a hyperbaric authorization packet moves from Expert Wound Care
Because hyperbaric oxygen is a covered benefit only for specific indications, Expert Wound Care faxes the prior-authorization documentation — diagnosis, Wagner grade, and conservative-care record — to the insurer before treatment begins. Name the patient, the referring physician, and the diagnosis so the payer can match the authorization. Send the medical-necessity packet as one PDF so the documents stay together.
Referrals for a wound to Expert Wound Care
The first document into Expert Wound Care is usually a referral for a problem wound, faxed from a primary-care office, a podiatry practice, or a vascular clinic with the supporting record. Confirm whether the referral goes to intake, the referral coordinator, or the front desk before you send. Flag an urgent or infected wound so it is triaged the same day.
Sending referral and wound records to Expert Wound Care without cutting corners

Faxing to Expert Wound Care — FAQ
A hyperbaric referral at Expert Wound Care generates an authorization packet faxed to the insurer, and the session summaries later go to the referring physician. Confirm the receiving fax — the payer's authorization team or the referring physician — with Expert Wound Care before sending. The packet names the covered indication, the wound grade, and the conservative therapy already tried. Send the packet and its studies as one PDF so nothing is separated.
A diabetic-foot wound at Expert Wound Care often needs offloading, and the order is faxed to the DME supplier so the device is set up. Providing the supplier's fax speeds setup of the device. The order names the device, the wound diagnosis, and the documentation the supplier needs for coverage. Send the order and its documentation as one PDF so they stay together.
At minimum, the patient's name, date of birth, and the referring provider belong on each page. Add a cover sheet addressed to referral intake, the authorization coordinator, or records at Expert Wound Care with your callback number. Attach the signed release or authorization when the fax is a records request or an authorization packet. The identifiers matter as much as the records themselves.
You can send to Expert Wound Care any time the machine is on, and a weekday-scheduled center usually receives it quickly; referrals and authorizations are worked on business days. The weekday hours are built around the outpatient clinic schedule. Send routine referral and records faxes during weekday hours so they are worked promptly. Expect same-day handling for a document sent while the center is open.
Because Expert Wound Care is hospital-based, referral intake and medical records are often separate lines, so confirm which one fits your document. Get the current fax from Expert Wound Care directly. Send a packet and its photos as one PDF so the pages stay together. A brief call ahead helps staff watch for a time-sensitive fax. That keeps the request moving without a second round trip.
