DVT Prevention

Background

DVT prevention is an important goal for many physicians, especially in high-risk patients such as those following certain surgeries, high-risk pregnancies, and those with poor circulation or a history of DVT. Physicians worry that the side effects of Rx medications often used for DVT prevention may outweigh the benefit.

The Program In a Nutshell

The CORE Group will supply practices with battery-powered (rechargeable) pneumatic compression DVT prevention devices for physicians or surgery centers to prescribe to patients who are considered at risk for DVT. The devices mimic the body's natural muscular contraction to increase venous blood flow in the lower extremities. Clinical studies demonstrate the efficacy of this class of devices in preventing DVT.

We will handle all of the insurance paperwork on behalf of your practice once your office or surgery center submits the requested forms to us. Neither your practice nor your patient will ever be billed, even if the insurance ultimately doesn't cover the device.
