Wound care has evolved beyond basic treatment today, representing one of healthcare’s most complex and rapidly growing challenges. Providers offering advanced therapies like biologics and regenerative medicine face mounting obstacles from insurance red tape, administrative burdens, and reimbursement delays.

At HBS Medical Billing, we understand the unique demands of wound care practices, of those offering cutting-edge procedures like PRP therapy, skin substitutes, and other regenerative therapies. That’s why we’ve built our services around eliminating the obstacles that slow down your revenue cycle and impact your bottom line.

The rising importance and cost of wound care

With the aging population in the United States steadily increasing, the demand for wound care is higher than ever. A significant number of older adults face chronic conditions such as diabetes, vascular disease, and immobility, place them at a greater risk for non-healing wounds.

These patients often require long-term, specialized treatments, with biologics that come with high costs while reimbursement rates continue to drop, and not all services are covered by insurance. Providers are left navigating a maze of documentation, prior authorization, and compliance requirements to get reimbursed for necessary care.

Insurance complexities are holding providers back

One of the biggest pain points for wound care specialists is the complexity of insurance coverage. Even when a service is medically necessary, getting reimbursed can involve layers of administrative work:

• Confirming the presence and involvement of a supervising physician
• Submitting the correct procedural documentation
• Navigating prior authorization requirements
• Verifying benefits and coverage for every treatment

These hurdles often delay payments or result in claim denials, underpayments, or rejections—problems that can quickly drain resources and disrupt care delivery.

Prior authorization issues

According to the American Medical Association, 94% of physicians report care delays due to prior authorization requirements, with 24% reporting a serious adverse event resulting from delays. The process consumes significant staff time up to two full days per week in some practices.

Moreover, technologies requiring pre-approval like skin substitutes often hit reimbursement obstacles. One survey noted a 30–35% national denial rate for advanced wound care claims due to missing modifiers or outdated templates.
