What A2039 covers

A2039 represents InnovaMatrix FD, a fish-derived wound matrix supplied for application to an open wound. Wound-care clinicians, podiatrists, and surgeons may use it when treating wounds such as chronic lower-extremity ulcers. The code measures the product by surface area, not by the number of wounds or application sessions. It identifies the specific product; another wound matrix or dressing is not reported under this code merely because it covers a similar area.

Report A2039 only with a primary procedure and within that procedure’s global period. Document the wound site, treated area, product used, and the quantity in square centimeters to support the units billed. CMS classifies A2039 as technical-component-only; a separate code accounts for interpretation. The record should also identify the primary procedure performed with the product. The CMS add-on designation means A2039 is not reported by itself.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

How to choose

A2038Wound matrix
A2038 identifies Marigen Pacto; A2039 identifies InnovaMatrix FD. Select the code for the product actually furnished.
A2043Biobrane
A2043 identifies Biobrane, not InnovaMatrix FD. Both use a square-centimeter unit, but the product determines the code.
A2027Matriderm
A2027 is for Matriderm. Do not choose between it and A2039 by wound area alone; report the product used.

A2039 billing questions

Can A2039 be billed by itself?

No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure, and payment falls within that procedure’s global period.

How many units should be reported?

The unit is one square centimeter. Support the billed quantity with documentation of the wound area and the amount of InnovaMatrix FD used.

Can another wound matrix be billed as A2039?

No. A2039 is specific to InnovaMatrix FD. Use the code assigned to the actual product supplied, even when another product is measured by square centimeter.

Does A2039 include an interpretation?

No professional component is represented by A2039. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only and indicates that interpretation is covered by a separate code.

What should the wound documentation include?

Record the wound site and treated area, the InnovaMatrix FD product used, the square-centimeter quantity, and the primary procedure performed with it.

Where these rates come from

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.
