Subsidize Wound Scar Repair?
In a previous post you said:
“We subsidize the FUE repair of wound scars that were a result of a previous NHI surgery.”
What are the details of this, ie how much do you subsidize? Thanks.
I take the view that we are a full service medical practice. Because significant scarring is relatively uncommon, we will absorb the costs for scars that come about from our surgeries. If a scar came about from an NHI surgery, we will repair it at no charge to the patient with a modified scar revision surgery we recently developed. The results of this surgery has been very good in most situations.
On a few patients, the scars may reflect the person’s healing abilities, in which case a scar revision may not work. In those situations, for those who do not respond to this surgery to their satisfaction, we will perform an FUE at a cost of $2000 per surgery and put in whatever number of grafts that are available provided that this surgery can be done safely and effectively. Some patients may not qualify because they may not make good candidates for FUE surgery.
