Report Overview

The U.S. wound care centers market size was valued at USD 13.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% from 2021 to 2028. The increasing prevalence of chronic injuries in the geriatric population and the growing demand for outpatient services is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. In addition, the growing adoption of new technologies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating non-healing and chronic injuries is expected to result in an increased demand for wound care centers in the U.S.

The caregivers are posting videos on changing dressings and the application of compression systems. Most wound care centers are open in the U.S., although operating part-time. However, many centers have observed a reduction in the volume of patients when compared to the same period last year.

In October 2015, the ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS replaced ICD-9-CM and ICD-9-PCS, allowing care providers to include more details about the health status and promote public health surveillance across the U.S. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has initiated the inclusion of tissue-based and/or cellular products for skin injuries into their application codes.

The CMS includes reimbursement for advanced therapies, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic injuries in lower extremities of patients, and injuries classified as Wagner grade III or higher. The CPT Codes 11042-11047, 97598, and 97597 are used for wound care billing. The availability of reimbursement and regulatory updates promotes the adoption of wound care treatment.
