HCPCS code A4575: Oxygen chamber, disposable topical2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in New York

CMS doesn’t publish an office rate for A4575 in New York.

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

What A4575 covers

A4575 identifies a disposable chamber used to apply oxygen under pressure to a localized body area, commonly a wound. Unlike whole-body hyperbaric oxygen treatment, topical treatment places the affected area in the chamber. The item may be furnished by a wound-care practice or another provider involved in the treatment; the code represents the chamber, not the clinical service itself.

Medicare assigns A4575 physician fee schedule status X because it is not a physician service; the physician fee schedule never pays it. The HCPCS pricing method classifies it as not separately priced by Medicare Part B. When covered, it is paid under another fee schedule or payment system, and coverage is left to the Medicare contractor’s judgment. A4575 represents the disposable chamber item rather than the clinical service.
