Wound care reimbursement is undergoing rapid transformation across North America, particularly in the United States. Rising chronic disease prevalence, escalating health-care costs, and the shift toward value based care are reshaping how wound care services and technologies are funded. Although the United States and Canada operate within fundamentally different health-care financing structures, both systems face similar pressures to improve outcomes, reduce preventable utilization, and ensure sustainability. This manuscript examines the evolving reimbursement landscapes in both countries and outlines opportunities for cross border learning to support more equitable, efficient, and evidence driven wound care.
