2. CMS/Medicare has been trying to change its coverage/reimbursement policies for skin substitutes since at least 2022.

As it stands now, the policy will change on 1/1/2026.

"In a sharp turnaround, the Trump administration proposed new regulations recently to limit skyrocketing spending on skin substitutes, used to treat wounds that won’t heal.

"After twice delaying proposed Biden-era regulations to sharply limit spending on skin substitutes earlier this year, many industry observers thought that the administration had chosen not to impose limits on skin substitute use and spending. But the new proposed rule — released without fanfare as part of a set of proposed healthcare changes — seems to indicate that a crackdown is coming."
