When a little more support is needed
Changes in diabetes treatment can create questions about medication instructions, monitoring, and daily routines. Skilled visits may help patients and caregivers understand the prescribed plan and identify questions for the provider. Wound-related services require their own assessment and appropriate orders.
Vanguard works with patients, families, and referring providers to clarify the requested skilled services. We review your location, referral, and coverage before planning visits. You can call to understand the process even if you are still gathering paperwork.
What to have ready
These details help the team understand the referral and avoid asking you to repeat information.
- Current treatment instructions and medication information
- Monitoring records if requested by your provider
- Any wound-care referral or recent discharge paperwork
Also have the patient’s city or ZIP code and insurance information nearby. Please share medical documents directly with the care team through the process they provide, rather than through the general website form.
