How a hyperbaric authorization packet moves from Wound Care Education Network
A hyperbaric treatment plan at Wound Care Education Network generates an authorization packet that is faxed to the insurer, and the session summaries are later faxed to the referring physician. A transcutaneous-oximetry result and clear wound photos support the medical-necessity determination. Keep the confirmation so the chart shows the authorization packet was transmitted.
