The potential implications of this Local Coverage Determination (LCD) on Skin Substitute Grafts/Cellular and/or Tissue-Based Products for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU's) and Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU's) mean that certain products would not be available to patients, including the grafts currently used to efficiently treat wounds.
