The Synergy Process
Why is it important to Call Your Prosthetist Immediately for every amputee admitted into your facility?
Important & Relevant Facts
Amputees are often times eligible for a number of services even if their amputation is not the reason they have come into your care. Getting your Prosthetist involved the second an Amputee is admitted into your facility can result in multiple positive benefits for both the patient and your facility.
Amputees can be eligible at any time for a new socket, soft goods (sox and liners), or a complete new full build of leg for a multitude of medical necessity reasons
WHO IS A CANDIDATE?
THIS QUESTION CAN ONLY BE DETERMINED BY A LICENSED AND CERTIFIED PROSTHETIST through a series of CMS regulated tests. Per CMS guidelines no other medical professional is capable of determining candidacy.
These patient care opportunities can generate new billing instances for your facility, which you may not have been aware of and can allow most amputees to become an active part of your physical therapy case load immediately.
Getting our Prosthetist in to see a newly admitted amputee within the first 48 hours of admittance is critical to getting the process started quickly and ensuring the fastest turn around possible, eliminating those frustrating long waits for your prosthetic supplier to deliver services in a timely manor.
