When skin substitutes first emerged, they were revolutionary—essential tools for treating complex wounds. However, over the past two decades, these innovations have been prone to misuse and fraud due to their financial implications.
At Wound Care Advantage, we’ve taken a different path. Our network averages a healing time of under eight weeks across all wound types which reflects our dedication to using the right product for the right patient at the right time, proving that exceptional outcomes don’t require excessive CTP utilization. For over a decade, we’ve reinforced this commitment through education, data analysis, and direct program support.
This LCD signals a major industry shift. CMS has drastically reduced the list of reimbursable CTPs and implemented stricter documentation and utilization standards. While the WCA team will assist our partners in ensuring compliance, I strongly encourage you to review the LCD carefully. It’s a turning point, and understanding it now will help prepare you for what lies ahead.
