Organogenesis Commends Final Lcds

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Organogenesis Pleased to Lead Collaborative Effort to Support Data-Driven Policy on Local Coverage Determination

CANTON, Mass., Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Organogenesis Holdings Inc. (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, commends today's decision by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on local coverage determination (LCD) based on peer-reviewed and evidence-based data of clinical efficacy. The LCD covers skin substitute grafts/cellular and tissue-based products (CTP) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and venous leg ulcers (VLU) in the Medicare population and is now set to become effective on February 12, 2025.

“Today's LCD decision recognizes the importance of clinical trial data and real-world evidence in shaping policies that affect all patients,” stated Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chair of the Board of Organogenesis.“We are proud of our work to bring wound care stakeholders together to inform this new policy.”

Organogenesis offers 4 products for DFUs, including NuShield, and 2 for VLUs.“We are pleased to have NuShield added to the list of covered products. These products have demonstrated safety and efficacy in clinical trials as well as in patient care settings. We believe CMS' evidence-based approach is a long-term positive step for Organogenesis and the industry,” concluded Gillheeney.
