What is Preventing You From Dispensing Wound Care Supplies In Your Office?

As a consultant, I often hear excuses as to why doctors are not dispensing wound care supplies in their offices.

1. I Forgot

Set up the proper protocols and train your staff. By using proper protocols and training your MA’s and staff, they will know when a patient qualifies for wound care supplies and when they do not. Your staff will know to have supplies and/or order forms in the treatment room for you. This can help remind you that they need to be dispensed or ordered.

2. I Don’t Have Time

Did you know that your NET profit from dispensing a 30-day AMERX HELIX3-CP^® Collagen Powder Wound Care Kit is $671.10? How do you not have time? You would need to see 14 nail care patients or perform 1.5 bunion surgeries to receive the same revenue. If you use protocols and train your staff, it will only take you a few extra minutes. Would you rather see 14 nail care patients or dispense a 30-day box of collagen? Do you not have time to practice comprehensive care and help your patients to heal faster?

3. I Am Worried About A Medicare Audit

Documentation is the key to an audit. AMERX has documentation guidelines for every Medicare jurisdiction. If you turn these documentation guidelines into a template, then your documentation is simple. Don’t prevent yourself from giving your patients excellent quality care and great wound care supplies out of fear.

In Conclusion

Stop making excuses and start practicing comprehensive care; Your business and patients depend on it. AMERX has protocols and documentation already developed to assist you in your journey.
