HCPCS code A2022: Wound matrix2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $127.26 for A2022 nationally in the office. Local office rates run $109.31–$183.51.

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

What A2022 covers

A2022 identifies Innovabrn/Innovamatx XL wound matrix supplied for application to a wound. It is typically reported by clinicians providing wound care, such as surgeons or other practitioners who apply wound products in an office or outpatient setting. The code measures the product by surface area, so it is distinct from wound matrix codes based on weight or other units. The product line is separate from the clinician’s work applying it.

Report A2022 only with a primary procedure; CMS treats it as an add-on and pays it within that procedure’s global period. Record the product used and the square centimeters represented by the units billed, along with the treated wound and associated primary procedure. CMS classifies A2022 as technical-component-only; a separate code accounts for interpretation. The product code does not itself describe the wound application service.

How to choose

A2013 identifies Innovamatrix FS per square centimeter. Use the product-specific code matching the matrix furnished, not A2022 solely because both use area units.

A2023 identifies Innovamatrix PD and uses milligrams as its unit. A2022 is for Innovabrn/Innovamatx XL and uses square centimeters.

A2024Wound matrix

A2024 identifies Resolve or Xenopatch by square centimeter. Select between it and A2022 based on the product actually supplied.
