{Straight talk for clients}
Each month we work with our in‐house experts to highlight features and answer questions posed by the WoundExpert community.
This month’s Q&A highlights Net Health’s Connections program, the function that makes ordering your clinical care supplies fast, easy, and accurate. Remember when that was manual for each patient? Yikes. We’re pleased to facilitate electronic connections to the most prominent vendors in wound care. Judging by the fact that nearly all WoundExpert clients use Connections, we know you see the value too.

Dear WoundExpert,
I sometimes prescribe Regranex® for my patients but I worry about under-prescribing or over-prescribing the volume. It’s a challenge to understand exactly how much of the product is needed and what costs the patient’s insurance will cover. Help!
The Scenario
We hear you. When prescribing gel or ointment products like Regranex, it can be difficult to understand the correct quantity that the patient will need for their wound(s) for the duration of treatment. If you under-prescribe, the patient may run out and incur additional costs in co-pays to get more product. Under-prescribing could also lead to an interruption in product use, which could negatively impact healing.
If you over-prescribe, extra product may be wasted or the patient may incur larger upfront costs for product than necessary. With newer products, it can also be challenging to understand if the patient will have any out-of-pocket costs based on their insurance.
The Solution
We have a tool that does exactly what you need when it comes to Regranex.
It’s important that the patient gets the right medication, for a price they can afford, that will allow them to easily comply with your treatment plan. WoundExpert now contains a tool that calculates the manufacturer’s suggested amount based on wound area and treatment frequency/duration. This makes the prescription process a breeze.
Ensure your patient gets the right amount of Regranex the first time:
- Auto-calculate the manufacturer’s suggested amount, based on the patient’s wound and treatment details
- Access a specialty pharmacy (such as Armada) to verify the patient’s eligibility and estimate the patient’s out-of-pocket cost for Regranex
- Order processing begins as soon as the Physician Orders form is submitted
Call to Action
The auto-calculate tool and patient eligibility verification is available whenever Regranex is prescribed. To learn more about the tool, contact Net Health Client Services at feedback@nhsinc.com, or give us a call: 800-411-6281, option 2.
