HCPCS A2047: Wound matrixMedicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $127.26 for A2047 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 A2047 covers

A2047 identifies LacertaMatrix, a wound matrix supplied and reported by square centimeter. It is used in wound care when the product is placed on a prepared wound. Wound-care clinicians, surgeons, and podiatrists may furnish it in office, clinic, or hospital settings. The code represents the product rather than a separate physician evaluation of the wound; the primary procedure describes the qualifying wound service.

Report units based on the square centimeters of LacertaMatrix furnished, supported by the product record and documentation of the treated wound and amount used. CMS classifies A2047 as an add-on code: submit it only with a qualifying primary procedure, and its payment falls within that procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code. The code has no physician work value, so the wound assessment and treatment decisions are not represented by A2047 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.

A2047 compared with similar codes

How to choose

15271Skin substitute graft

15271 reports the primary wound application service for qualifying body sites; A2047 reports the LacertaMatrix product by area and is an add-on.

15275Skin substitute

15275 is a primary wound application code for other specified body sites. Choose the primary procedure by site; report A2047 separately for LacertaMatrix furnished.

A2027Matriderm

A2027 identifies Matriderm, not LacertaMatrix. Use the HCPCS code matching the specific product furnished, even when both are measured by square centimeter.

A2046Wound matrix

A2046 identifies Dermisphere HDRT. A2047 is specific to LacertaMatrix; square-centimeter billing does not make the product codes interchangeable.

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.
