Your Patients Are Losing Access. Right Now.
The CMS cuts took effect January 1. 6.5 million Americans with chronic wounds are already feeling it. We need an executive pause and a legislative fix — and we need them now.
The Alliance for Patient Care is the only organization exclusively fighting to restore access to life-saving skin substitutes. The 95% reimbursement cuts everyone warned about are no longer a proposal — they’re policy. Providers are pulling back. Patients are going without. And when chronic wounds carry a higher mortality rate than most cancers, every week of delay costs lives.
Your Patients Need
YOUR VOICE.
NOW MORE THAN EVER.
Your Patients Need Your Voice. Now.
The cuts are live. The damage is starting. The fight isn't over.
We spent months warning CMS that a 95% reimbursement cut would gut wound care access across the country. The rule took effect anyway on January 1, 2026. Now the Alliance for Patient Care is mobilizing providers, distributors, and patient advocates around a two-track response: an executive pause to stop the bleeding, and a legislative fix to replace a broken policy with a workable one.
The Crisis Isn't Coming.
It's Here.
95% Cuts. Live. Nationwide.
95% Cuts. Live. Nationwide.
The CMS reimbursement cuts implemented on January 1 have effectively eliminated coverage for skin substitute treatments across Medicare. In the first weeks alone:
- Patients are being turned away from the advanced wound care that keeps them out of amputation
- Providers are suspending services they can no longer afford to deliver
- Small distributors are closing product lines that communities depend on
- Rural and underserved areas are hit hardest — the same communities with the highest rates of diabetes and vascular disease
We have a narrow window to pause the rule before the damage becomes permanent. Congress is listening. The administration is listening. But only if we show up together.
Who We Are
Your Voice in Washington. Your Partner in the Reversal.
The Alliance for Patient Care unites wound care providers, distributors, and patient advocates to restore access to treatments the January 1 rule took away. We turn individual frustration into coordinated pressure through:
Strategic Advocacy
Direct engagement with the White House, HHS, CMS, and Capitol Hill
Unified Action
One coordinated response instead of a thousand scattered letters
Expert Education
Arming providers with the data, stories, and tools that move decision-makers
Patient Focus
Keeping the human cost of this policy at the center of every conversation
“The Alliance gives us a unified voice when it matters most. Their advocacy is what will restore our ability to treat complex wounds.”
