Wound Cares Fax Number — Home-Health Wound-Care Orders
Wound Cares faxes wound-care and dressing-change orders to the home-health agency so the visiting nurse follows the right protocol; here is how, securely. As a diabetic limb-salvage and wound center in Sierra Vista, Arizona, Wound Cares coordinates diabetic-foot and limb-salvage care coordinated with vascular surgery and podiatry for patients with diabetic-foot wounds and their referring providers across the desert Southwest. Because a home-health order carries protected health information, this guide covers both where to send it and how to keep the transmission compliant.

Getting the wound-care order to the agency from Wound Cares
A patient seen at Wound Cares often has a home-health nurse changing dressings, so the current wound-care order is faxed to the agency so the regimen at home matches the center's plan. Send the wound-care order and the current assessment together so the agency has the full picture. Confirm the home-health agency's fax with Wound Cares before the order is sent.

Give Wound Cares the payer's authorization fax so the packet is not sent to a stale line. The packet names the covered indication, the wound grade, and the conservative therapy already tried. Put the patient's identifiers and the diagnosis on every page.
