ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
Navigating the 2026 CTP Landscape
Wound care reimbursement experts Kathleen Schaum and Taylor Stewart break down the 2026 MPFS, OPPS, and WISeR changes for cellular and tissue-based products and help you understand the documentation strategies that protect access, reimbursement, and healing outcomes.
CTPs are central to treating complex, hard-to-heal wounds. The 2026 Medicare changes, including a single allowable rate for most CTPs, expanded WISeR prior authorization, and the withdrawal of future-effective LCDs and LCAs, reshape how these therapies are selected, billed, and reimbursed. Watching this session gives your team the regulatory clarity and clinical playbook to operate with confidence.
What You’ll Learn:
- How the 2026 MPFS final rule, OPPS rule, and current LCD/LCA landscape affect your coverage and payment
- What some providers are seeing and how others should prepare
- How to document a clear, progressive picture of each wound to support medical necessity and audit readiness
- Outcome, process, and financial measures every CTP program should be tracking
- Practical steps to refine your CTP formulary, application monitoring, and team-based care model
