Skin Integra Webinar

This webinar examines the pathophysiology of skin barrier dysfunction and lipid deficiency as a common thread underlying conditions such as diabetic xerosis, heel and toe fissures, post-surgical scars, and other compromised-skin presentations frequently encountered in foot and wound care practice. Participants will review the limitations of standard care approaches (urea-based softening, surface moisturizers) that address symptoms without restoring lost barrier lipids, and explore an emerging bio-identical oil-based approach supported by peer-reviewed clinical research. The webinar also addresses scope-of-practice considerations for RNs and NPs when recommending or dispensing skin barrier products within a standing order or protocol.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the role of barrier lipid deficiency in the development of common dermatologic and diabetic skin conditions, including fissures, xerosis, and delayed wound healing.
2. Differentiate between surface-level skin care approaches (humectants, keratolytics) and treatments designed to restore the stratum corneum's lipid environment.
3. Identify scope-of-practice requirements for RNs versus NPs when evaluating, recommending, or dispensing skin barrier therapies in clinical practice.

Accurate coding and billing are essential to building a sustainable, equitable foot care nursing practice. This live webinar equips foot care nurses, nurse practitioners, and allied clinicians with practical, current 2026 guidance on Medicare foot care billing and reimbursement, including routine foot care coverage criteria and the documentation needed to support compliant claims. This session translates complex coding rules into steps you can apply directly in your own practice.

Learning Objectives
1. Identify the CPT and ICD-10 codes most commonly used in routine foot care.
2. Describe the documentation required to support medical necessity for reimbursable foot care services.
3. Apply appropriate modifier usage (e.g., Q7/Q8/Q9) to reduce claim denials.
