WISeR + CPT 15271: Why this code matters
One important clarification as conversations around WISeR continue to grow:
If your practice bills CPT 15271 (application of skin substitutes), WISeR is relevant to you.
This isn’t limited to:
- Mobile wound care practices
- Dedicated wound care clinics
It also applies to any specialty or setting using this code, including:
- Podiatry
- Primary care practices managing chronic wounds
- Other outpatient settings where 15271 is billed
WISeR isn’t about the type of practice — it’s about services, utilization, and documentation.
The real questions practices should be asking now:
- Are our 15271 charts consistently defensible?
- Does our documentation clearly support medical necessity and timing?
- Would our records hold up if reviewed retrospectively?
Curious how others are thinking about this:👉 Are you already looking at your 15271 documentation differently because of WISeR, or is this just starting to come onto your radar?
Drop your thoughts below — this is a good space for open discussion.
