Why Your Practice Should Handle DFUs

You already manage the disease. Wound care is a natural extension of your diabetes management.

  • You own the patient relationship — they're already in your office monthly
  • You control the diabetes — wound healing depends on glycemic control
  • HEDIS scores matter — DFU complications hurt your diabetes metrics
  • Capitation economics — every referral comes from your pool
  • Prevention opportunity — catch wounds early, before they escalate
