What A2017 covers
A2017 identifies a Permeaderm glove reported as an individual item. Its each-based unit distinguishes it from Permeaderm B and Permeaderm C, which have separate codes reported by the square centimeter. The code is technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Report one unit for each glove. This keeps the glove unit distinct from the area-based units used for Permeaderm B and C.
Medicare lists A2017 with carrier-priced status under the physician fee schedule. The Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim using contractor pricing under that schedule; CMS publishes no national payment amount. Coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment. The technical component is reported under A2017, while interpretation is represented by a separate code.
