What is a Surgeon-Led Bedside Team?

A Nexcell surgeon and wound nurse round at your facility on a defined cadence to evaluate, debride, and close wounds at bedside — no transfer to clinic required. We don't just send consults via email; our surgeons make rounds and close wounds in your facility.

What outcomes can our facility expect?

Published data shows a mean time to closure of 47.5 days under our model vs 69 days under usual care — 21.5 days faster on average (PubMed 31461401).

How do referrals work?

Your facility submits a referral through our portal or by calling 505-624-8340. Most patients are seen within one rounding cycle.

Do you bill the patient or the facility?

We bill the patient's insurance directly under standard wound-care CPT codes. Your facility incurs no per-visit cost.

Are your surgeons credentialed at our facility?

We work with your medical staff office to complete credentialing before rounding begins. Most facilities complete this in 2–4 weeks.

Surgeon-Led Bedside Teams

What an SLBT Visit Looks Like

A board-certified surgeon, supported by physician assistants and nurse practitioners, rounds at your facility on a recurring schedule. Every wound on the unit gets surgeon-level evaluation and a written plan.

Sharp surgical debridement, biologic and amniotic skin grafts, growth-factor therapy, and other advanced wound care modalities are delivered at the bedside — no transport required.

Visit notes, photos, and orders are documented in your facility's chart and shared with your nursing team, the patient's primary care provider, and any specialists involved.
