What A2008 covers

A2008 identifies the TheraGenesis wound matrix supplied for wound coverage or repair. It is reported by the clinician or facility furnishing the product when it is used as part of a primary wound procedure. The measured quantity is based on the product amount in square centimeters, not the number of wounds or visits. The documentation should identify TheraGenesis and show the amount used and the wound procedure it accompanied.

This is an add-on code: submit it only with a primary procedure, and Medicare pays it within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies A2008 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Keep the product quantity distinct from the procedure service in the claim record. A2008 is specific to TheraGenesis, so a different wound matrix product is reported under its own product code rather than substituted under A2008.

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.
