MiMedx (MDXG, Financial) may encounter significant pricing adjustments following the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' proposed physician fee schedule for 2026. Under this proposal, MiMedx's products, EpiFix and EpiCord, are expected to see price reductions of 21% and 49%, respectively, based on their fourth-quarter 2024 average selling prices. This potential decrease arises as Medicare highlights the substantial rise in advanced wound care costs over recent years.
BTIG has noted the market reaction to this proposal, especially witnessing the share selloff, as exaggerated. They believe the CMS adjustments could lead to industry consolidation and market refinement. Despite these challenges, BTIG maintains a Buy rating on Organogenesis, another player in the advanced wound care space, but highlights the pressures MiMedx may face with the looming changes. As a result of the fee schedule proposal, MiMedx's stock experienced a decline, dropping 17% to $3.73 in premarket trading.
