Keep your patient.
One call, fax, or email unlocks the whole continuum. Triaged within one business day. Urgent cases scheduled within the week.
What happens after you send it
Four steps. Fully closed loop.
Your referral enters a coordinated workflow — not an inbox triage queue. Here’s the actual path from your message to a follow-up note in your chart.
-
1
Refer
Phone, fax, email, or EMR-direct. Send whatever documentation you already have — a photo and a sentence is enough to start.
-
2
Triage
Triaged within one business day by a clinical coordinator. Urgent cases scheduled within 7 days across clinic or surgical center.
-
3
Care
Bedside, in-office, tele-wound, or ambulatory surgical intervention — matched to clinical need, not scheduling convenience.
-
4
Return
Structured encounter note returned to the referring provider. Patient transitions back to the medical home with a documented plan.

Referring FAQ
Common questions from PCPs, FQHCs, and SNFs.
Everything a referring provider needs to know before sending the first patient our way.
01 How do I submit a referral?
Email, phone, or direct coordination all work. Clinic referrals: 202.861.2971. Surgical referrals: 202.861.8040. General: info@cwswounds.com.
02 How quickly will my patient be seen?
Most urgent wound referrals are scheduled the same week. Non-urgent referrals typically within ten business days.
03 What insurance plans do you accept?
Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans. Please call 202.861.2971 to verify coverage for a specific patient.
04 Will I receive clinical updates?
Yes. A structured encounter note is returned to the referring PCP, FQHC care team, or SNF clinician after every visit — closing the loop back to the medical home.
05 Do you see patients at their facility?
Yes. Bedside rounds are available at skilled nursing, long-term care, and home-health settings across the DC metro. See Home & Bedside Care for details.
06 Can my patient get to surgery without a hospital referral?
Yes — that’s the whole point of our practice. Surgical cases are handled in-house at the Capital Surgical Center (Suite 802) — no hospital admission, no outside referral, no transfer of care.
07 Do you accept complex cases others have declined?
Yes. Those are exactly the cases we want you to send. Calciphylaxis, necrotizing soft-tissue wounds, failed surgical closures, and diabetic osteomyelitis fit our surgical model well. See Conditions We Treat.
