Advanced Wound Care and Regenerative Medicine Access and Reform...
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to adjust payment for skin substitute products under the Medicare program.
This bill, HB6852, aims to change how Medicare pays for skin substitute products used in advanced wound care and regenerative medicine. These products are often used for serious wounds that don't heal well on their own. The bill proposes adjustments to the payment rates to ensure better access to these treatments for Medicare beneficiaries.
The bill would primarily affect people on Medicare, especially those with chronic or complex wounds who need specialized skin substitutes. Adjusting the payment rates could help make these treatments more affordable and accessible, potentially improving patient outcomes.
HB6852 was introduced on December 18, 2025, and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means for further review. As of now, no significant actions have been taken since its introduction.
