Medicare spending on wound care “skin substitutes” has skyrocketed—from $256 million in 2019 to over $10 billion in 2024 (Medicare Part B data).
This surge, driven in part by questionable pricing and limited clinical evidence, has led CMS to tighten oversight, resulting in reduced reimbursements and more frequent audits.
In this session, join Michael Warshaw, DPM, CPC break down the key 2026 regulatory changes and how to stay compliant, so an audit is an inconvenience, not a crisis.
🔍 You’ll learn:
• The new flat rate of $127.14 per sq cm (effective Jan 1, 2026)
• How the CMS WiseR model impacts reimbursement
• Key policy updates (JW/JZ removal, no reimbursement for discarded product)
• Proper use of the KX modifier
• What’s required in a compliant wound care note
