Medicare has officially postponed LCD policy

Medicare has officially postponed the implementation of the new LCD policy for Skin Substitutes.

The new effective date is now January 1, 2026.

This extension gives providers and billing teams much-needed time to prepare for the changes and align workflows accordingly.

Let's stay proactive and informed to ensure smooth transitions ahead.
