HCPCS code A2026: Restrata MinimatriX, per 5 mg2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in California

CMS doesn’t publish an office rate for A2026 in California.

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What A2026 covers

A2026 identifies Restrata MinimatriX, a wound matrix product, using a 5 mg billing increment. It distinguishes this named product from other wound products with separate HCPCS codes and different quantity bases. Each unit represents 5 mg, so the billed unit count follows the total milligrams of Restrata MinimatriX furnished. The code is not expressed by wound area; its quantity basis is product mass. The code also carries a technical-component-only classification, with interpretation covered by a separate code.

Medicare assigns A2026 physician fee schedule status C: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. HCPCS pricing directs the contractor to price it under the physician fee schedule, while Medicare coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment. Status C describes national payment publication and claim pricing, while the coverage code leaves coverage judgment to the contractor. For claim reporting, identify Restrata MinimatriX and calculate units in 5 mg increments; do not substitute a neighboring matrix code with a different product identity or unit basis.
