CAMPs and CPTs
What Are CAMPs and CPTs And Why We Use Them in Wound Care
At Chicago Medical Group Mobile, we’re committed to using the most effective, evidence-based technologies to heal wounds faster and improve patient outcomes. Two of the most advanced tools we use in our mobile wound care services are CAMPs (Cellular and Matrix-Based Products) and CPTs (Current Procedural Terminology codes).
Understanding what these terms mean and how they benefit our patients can help you or your loved ones feel more confident about your care.
What Are CAMPs?
CAMPs stands for Cellular and/or Tissue-Based Products, also known as skin substitutes or biologic grafts. These products are used to support wound healing, especially in chronic or complex wounds that don’t respond well to standard treatments.
They may include:
-
Collagen-rich wound matrices
-
Amniotic membrane grafts
-
Placental tissue products
-
Engineered skin substitutes
These advanced materials help jump-start the body’s natural healing process by providing a scaffold that supports new tissue growth, reduces inflammation and protects the wound from infection.
CAMPs Are Commonly Used For:
-
Diabetic foot ulcers
-
Venous leg ulcers
-
Pressure injuries (bedsores)
-
Surgical wounds that are slow to heal
-
Traumatic or infected wounds
What Are CPTs?
CPTs refer to Current Procedural Terminology codes, which are standardized codes used by healthcare providers to document medical procedures and services.
While patients don’t typically need to know CPTs in detail, these codes play a vital role in:
-
Accurately recording wound care treatments
-
Ensuring proper billing and insurance reimbursement
-
Tracking patient progress
-
Ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations
In short, CPTs help us deliver consistent, transparent and billable care that’s recognized by Medicare.
Why We Use CAMPs and CPTs in Mobile Wound Care
At Chicago Medical Group Mobile, we treat patients in non-hospital environments like homes, assisted living communities and skilled nursing facilities. Using CAMPs and CPTs allows us to:
✅ Provide hospital-grade treatments in a mobile setting
✅ Accelerate healing in hard-to-treat or non-healing wounds
✅ Reduce the need for surgeries, hospitalizations, and ER visits
✅ Deliver care that’s both medically sound and financially trackable
If you or a loved one has a chronic wound, CAMPs may be part of your personalized treatment plan. These innovative products are safe, well-studied and often covered by insurance when medically necessary. CPTs ensure your care is fully documented, from the very first visit to the final dressing change.
By using the latest tools and technologies, our team at Chicago Medical Group Mobile ensures every patient receives the most advanced wound care possible, right where they live.
