CTP-related LCDs Postponed at the Last Minute!

The Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) that will directly impact the application and documentation of cellular tissue products (CTPs, aka Skin Subs) have been postponed until January 1, 2026!

This postponement came at the last minute, as the LCD was scheduled to go into effect on Sunday, April 13.

There are several speculations to make about why the LCD was postponed again, but for now, read CMS’ official statement here: https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cms-statement-local-coverage-determination-certain-skin-substitute-grafts
