About A2008: TheraGenesis wound matrix supply
Report A2008 for each square centimeter of TheraGenesis wound matrix supplied with a primary wound procedure for wound coverage or repair.
A2008 identifies the TheraGenesis wound matrix supplied for wound coverage or repair. It is reported by the clinician or facility furnishing the product when it is used as part of a primary wound procedure. The measured quantity is based on the product amount in square centimeters, not the number of wounds or visits. The documentation should identify TheraGenesis and show the amount used and the wound procedure it accompanied.
This is an add-on code: submit it only with a primary procedure, and Medicare pays it within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies A2008 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Keep the product quantity distinct from the procedure service in the claim record. A2008 is specific to TheraGenesis, so a different wound matrix product is reported under its own product code rather than substituted under A2008.

A2008 billing questions
How is the quantity for A2008 counted?
Report the TheraGenesis amount in square centimeters. Document the amount used; do not count units by wound or visit.
Can A2008 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
Is A2008 the wound application procedure?
No. A2008 identifies the TheraGenesis product. Report the primary wound procedure separately when performed.
What does the technical-component designation mean for this code?
CMS classifies A2008 as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code.
Can another wound matrix be reported as A2008?
No. A2008 is specific to TheraGenesis. Use the applicable product code when a different matrix is furnished.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
