The cost of diabetic care

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

CMS cost figures for the treatment of a chronic diabetic wound are $40,300.00

The Veteran’s Administration

The VA's costs of treating a chronic diabetic wound ranges from $45,000 to 75,000 depending on the type of patient and setting the patient is treated in.

These are the costs associated with normal treatment of a diabetic wound using standard treatment protocols.   If the wound does not heal and the bones become infected, then additional costs of amputations incurred  by the system  along with the costs for prosthetics as a result of these amputations.

  • Surgical Costs: $30,000 to $100,000 for each amputation

  • Prosthetic Costs: $75,000 to $125,000 bi-annually

Diabetes is a huge problem in the United States. leading to $8 Billion in annual costs. It is growing at a rate of 14% per year.  The government is spending millions of dollars on education and prevention in an effort to control these costs to the system.

However, this does not address the problem of diabetics who already have a chronic wound.  Until now there has not been a viable solution for treating these wounds. 

In the State of Minnesota there are 5,000 diabetic patients with chronic ulcers.
