What A2004 covers

A2004 identifies Xcellistem for reporting in 1 mg units. Its quantity basis is mass, unlike nearby product codes whose descriptors use square centimeters or another measure. The code identifies the product and amount rather than a wound site or application method. Report one unit for each milligram of Xcellistem furnished. This is a HCPCS Level II code.

Medicare assigns A2004 status C, or carrier priced: there is no national payment amount, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim under the physician fee schedule. The contractor also determines coverage. CMS classifies A2004 as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation. The per-milligram unit is the billing quantity for this product.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
