The importance of early patient intervention by Advanced.
Positive outcomes are best achieved by the Surgeons getting
the patient together with the prosthetic provider as soon
as possible just before or after surgery. The Surgeon or the
Surgeon’s staff can follow this easy referral process:
(a) Tell your patient the last consult
before the surgery, Advanced will be contacting them concerning
prosthetic care and give them appropriate information.
(b) Call Advanced at 1-800-330-8881 or use
our fast fax referral form to send patient’s information
to the corporate office at: 1-800-261-9537. Advanced patient
case managers will be following up with the patient to insure
the patient receives quality service and follow-up care.
(c) Advanced will contact the patient and
get all required insurance approvals. (Advanced works with
the primary care physicians as needed for prosthetic approvals).
(d) Advanced patient care representative
will visit the patient and get all required patient documentation,
explain the process of being fit with a prosthesis, put the
patient at ease, and leave helpful information.
(e) A convenient appointment will be made
for our prosthetist to visit and evaluate the patient
in the patient’s home / healthcare facility.
(f) In conjunction with our prosthetist
training the patient to use their new prosthesis, in-home
physical therapy can be arranged through our association with
many quality providers or with the physician’s provider
of choice.
