Wound care supplies


Wound care that arrives before the wound gets worse.

Dressings, negative pressure therapy, pressure-redistribution surfaces and compression — supplied to the home, billed to the plan, with the documentation built to survive review. Choice Healthcare supplies the products. Your clinician directs the care.

What we supply


Four categories, four different sets of coverage rules.

Wound care denials are rarely about the wound. They're about a missing measurement, a treatment that wasn't documented as tried first, or a quantity that exceeded a limit nobody checked. We work all four categories and we know where each one breaks.

Surgical dressings

Primary & secondary

Alginates, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, collagens, gauze, transparent films, wound fillers, tape and bandages — primary dressings that touch the wound and the secondary dressings that hold them.

Coverage turns onA qualifying wound — one that is surgically created, surgically modified, or requires debridement. A Standard Written Order must reach us before the claim goes out, and the record has to support the type and quantity supplied.

Negative pressure wound therapy

Pump · dressing kits · canisters

Stationary and portable NPWT pumps with the dressing kits and canister sets that go with them, delivered and set up in the home with the patient and caregiver trained on the device.

Coverage turns onA Stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer, or a neuropathic, venous, arterial or mixed-etiology ulcer present at least 30 days — plus documentation that a full wound-management program was tried first. Coverage runs to four months, or stops earlier if the wound stops improving.

Pressure-redistribution surfaces

Group 1 · Group 2 · Group 3

Overlays, mattresses and powered air-flotation and low-air-loss systems, matched to the ulcer stage and the treatment program already in place. Delivered with the hospital bed or onto an existing one.

Coverage turns onGroup 2 needs multiple Stage 2 ulcers on the trunk or pelvis that failed to improve over a month on a full program, or large or multiple Stage 3 or 4 ulcers, or a recent flap or graft. The prior Group 1 surface has to be in the record.

Compression & lymphedema

Gradient garments · wraps · bandaging

Compression for venous stasis ulcers, and the full lymphedema compression benefit — standard-fit and custom gradient garments for day and night, bandaging supplies, and accessories including donning aids.

Coverage turns onMedicare Part B has covered lymphedema compression items since January 1, 2024, on a practitioner's prescription, with defined replacement frequencies. It's a newer benefit and a lot of patients don't know it exists.

Wounds we supply for


If it's chronic, it's a documentation problem too.

We supply for the wound types that carry the heaviest coverage requirements — the ones where a referral stalls not because anyone disagrees clinically, but because the file didn't say the right things in the right order.

Choice Healthcare supplies equipment and dressings. We do not assess, debride, or treat wounds, and nothing here is clinical advice. The treating practitioner directs care; we make sure what they order actually arrives and actually gets paid.

  • Pressure injuries, Stage 1 through 4, and unstageable
  • Diabetic and neuropathic foot ulcers
  • Venous stasis ulcers
  • Arterial and mixed-etiology ulcers
  • Surgical wounds, including dehisced and open incisions
  • Post-flap and post-graft sites
  • Traumatic wounds and burns
  • Lymphedema, under the Part B compression benefit

For referring providers


Six reasons a wound care claim comes back.

None of them are clinical. All of them are avoidable, and all of them are ours to catch.

  • No measurements. Length, width and depth have to be in the record, and for ongoing therapy they have to change over time
  • Prior treatment not documented. NPWT requires evidence that moist wound care, debridement, nutrition and offloading were tried or ruled out first
  • Wrong stage on the note. A Stage 2 pressure ulcer doesn't qualify for NPWT, and a Group 2 surface needs the ulcer count and location stated
  • Quantity over the limit. Dressing and canister quantities are capped monthly unless the drainage volume is documented
  • Duplicate dressing types. More than one wound filler or one wound cover on a single wound is generally not covered
  • Order arrives after the claim. The Standard Written Order has to reach the supplier before the claim is submitted, not alongside it

What to expect


From referral to the first dressing change.

We take the referral and verify benefits

Phone, fax or the form on this site. We confirm coverage and tell you and the patient what the expected out-of-pocket is before anything ships.

We build the order with the treating practitioner

Standard Written Order, the wound description and measurements, the treatment already tried, and the specific products and quantities — checked against the coverage criteria for those exact codes.

We deliver to the home and train

Supplies arrive where the patient is. For NPWT and support surfaces we set the equipment up, show the patient and caregiver how to use it, and document the instruction.

We manage resupply on the real schedule

Wound care needs change fast, especially early. We track actual usage rather than shipping a standing order into a closet, and we contact the patient before the current supply runs out — not sooner than the refill window allows.

We keep the documentation current

Ongoing therapy needs monthly evidence that the wound is being assessed and that its dimensions are changing. We stay on top of it so continued coverage doesn't lapse mid-treatment.

Call, fax the referral form, or send us a name and a number and we'll do the rest.
