Referral Information

Angeles Wound Care Institute does not require a medical referral, however we are happy to work together with your primary health care provider team to ensure the best treatment and path to healing possible.  

While we accept most insurance plans, our primary patient has Medicare coverage. Our goal is to streamline your path to recovery and get you seen within a week. 

Whether we are working directly with you, or through your healthcare team, we require the following information:

  1. Completed New Patient Intake Form
  2. Any relevant notes in the care and treatment of your wound – including medical history, wound care history, medication list, and lab results.
