(Nasdaq: ORGO), a leading regenerative medicine company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of product solutions for the Advanced Wound Care and Surgical and Sports Medicine markets, applauds the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) proposed new payment approach for skin substitutes/cellular and tissue-based products (CTPs) under the CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule and urges CMS to establish 2026 payment rates based on clinical value and relative cost. “We are pleased CMS is proposing a per centimeter square payment methodology based on FDA classification for skin substitutes in both the physician office and hospital outpatient department settings,” said Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., President, CEO, and Chair of the Board for Organogenesis. “We believe this new payment structure will curb abuse under the current system, and the resulting rapid escalation in Medicare spending, while ensuring a much-needed consistent payment approach across sites of care. We are also pleased CMS has recognized the clinical differentiation of PMA products and has taken steps to expand access to these innovative wound healing technologies to ensure patients receive the most appropriate therapy, which have been proven to reduce life-threatening amputations and complications.” Mr. Gillheeney continued, “With more than forty years of leadership in regenerative medicine, and a diverse portfolio with technologies in each FDA category, we believe we are well-positioned for future growth in an evolving wound care market. We remain committed to working with CMS and other stakeholders to further refine the proposed policies to promote long-term stability and continue to expand access to PMA products that patients need and deserve, all while reducing the overall cost to Medicare.” About Organogenesis Holdings Inc.  Organogenesis Holdings Inc. is a leading regenerative medicine company focused on the development, manufacture, and commercialization of solutions for the advanced wound care and surgical and sports medicine markets.
