FAQs for Patients and Providers
For Patients and Caregivers
A biologic graft is a tissue-based product that mimics the structure and function of natural skin. It promotes wound healing by encouraging cell growth and tissue regeneration, especially for chronic wounds that have not responded to standard treatments. Biologic grafts are commonly used for diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and other non-healing wounds.
Eligibility is typically determined based on the type and severity of the wound. If the wound has not healed after 30 days of conventional treatments (e.g., dressings, compression), biologic grafts may be recommended. Our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if biologic graft placement is the right option for you.
Yes, Medicare covers biologic graft placement for non-healing, chronic wounds when specific criteria are met. The wound must have persisted for at least 30 days despite standard care, and the procedure must be deemed medically necessary. Our team will handle the insurance approval process to ensure coverage.

Medicare typically covers biologic grafts for chronic, non-healing wounds (e.g., diabetic or pressure ulcers) that have not improved after 30 days of standard treatment. Documentation of previous treatments and the medical necessity of biologic grafts is required for approval.
Biologic grafts offer several benefits for non-healing wounds, including faster tissue regeneration, improved healing outcomes, reduced risk of infection, and overall better wound management for patients at high risk of complications.
Our team will manage the entire insurance approval process, including verifying Medicare and secondary insurance coverage. We ensure all necessary documentation is submitted and approvals are obtained before proceeding with treatment.
