Clear Answers
Clear answers to help you plan your recovery with confidence. Explore our most common questions below—so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after care.
How do I book?
You can book by filling out our intake form. You can receive this form by inquiring through our website or calling our business line. We review this form and send you a confirmation email which can take 2-3 business days.
How far in advance should I book a private duty nurse?
We ask that you book as soon as you receive your surgery date, or 6-8 weeks in advance. Although we do take last minute bookings if we can accommodate them, the Fall and Winter months are very busy and tend to book up fast.
Where can I receive care?
Our nurses travel to you. They will meet you at the surgical center and escort you after your procedure to your house, hotel, or apartment. Radiant nurses are very accommodating and flexible to our patients’ needs.
What if I need to extend my care?
Understanding that everyone recovers at their own pace, many patients find they need to extend their care. Although not guaranteed, we do attempt to put a nurse on call for extensions of care. We never want to leave a patient before they feel they are ready to be on their own.
Why do I need a private nurse after surgery?
Having a private duty RN after surgery can be crucial to a smooth and stress free recovery. In the first 24 hours after anesthesia your vital signs need to be monitored closely. Pain and nausea also needs to be controlled. Each procedure requires specific positioning and limitations. Your incisions will also require frequent checks and dressing changes. Additionally, if you have drains, the output is calculated and closely monitored. Your PDN communicates with your surgeon directly with updates and if any concerns were to arise.
Do you take insurance?
Radiant Recovery is a private-pay practice. We do not meet the criteria of many insurance companies. Upon request, we may send you a copy of your invoice to submit to insurance. Reimbursement is never guaranteed. We may accept payment through HSA cards.
Can my nurse drive me?
For your safety and to ensure our nurses remain fully attentive to your needs during transportation, we recommend that they remain hands-free and refrain from driving. However, if you prefer your nurse to provide driving assistance, we do require a signed consent form, and the request must be approved by the assigned nurse.
How much care should I book for my procedure?
This is based on many factors. What kind of procedure you are having, your medical history, whether you have traveled for the surgery, and your support outside of professional nursing care. We recommend scheduling a consultation call with us to discuss your situation and create a plan that will fit your needs. Most of our “Mommy Makeover” patients feel they need 48-72 hours of care.
