What A4268 covers

A4268 represents one female condom, also called an internal condom: a barrier contraceptive product placed inside the vagina for use during intercourse to prevent pregnancy. The code identifies the supply itself, rather than counseling or a contraceptive procedure. Its each-item basis means one unit represents one individual condom supplied.

For Medicare, A4268 has physician fee schedule status I, meaning it is not valid for Medicare reporting and Medicare uses a different code to report and pay for this service. CMS also classifies it as not payable and not separately priced under Medicare Part B. Do not submit A4268 as a payable Medicare line. The item is distinct from the male condom (A4267), diaphragm (A4266), and cervical cap (A4261) supply codes.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
