On January 25, 2025, the Alliance for Wound Care Stakeholders shared that all of the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) have delayed the effective date of the final local coverage determinations for cellular and tissue-based products for wounds (CTPs, or "skin substitutes") in diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers by 60 days, moving the implementation date across all MAC jurisdictions from 2/12/25 to 4/13/25.

They noted that the local coverage determinations themselves are unchanged, only the effective date has postponed.
