About A2006: NovoSorb SynPath wound matrix
Reports each square centimeter of NovoSorb SynPath supplied for wound management, alongside the applicable primary skin-substitute application procedure.
A2006 identifies NovoSorb SynPath, a synthetic wound matrix used in wound management. It is a product code rather than a code for the clinician’s wound-bed preparation or application service; clinicians may use the matrix in settings where wounds are treated, including outpatient wound care and surgical care. The treating clinician selects and applies the product to the wound as appropriate to the patient’s treatment plan.
Report units by the square centimeter of product used, and document the product, wound site, treated area, and quantity. CMS classifies A2006 as an add-on: bill it only with a primary procedure, and payment falls within that procedure’s global period. The code represents the technical component; a separate code covers interpretation. Pair it with the applicable skin-substitute application procedure, selected according to wound site and treated area.

A2006 billing questions
Can A2006 be billed by itself?
No. CMS classifies it as an add-on, so report it only with the applicable primary procedure.
How should units be counted?
Count the NovoSorb SynPath supplied in square centimeters. Document the treated wound area and the product quantity used.
Which application code should accompany A2006?
Select the primary skin-substitute application procedure that matches the wound site and treated area, such as the applicable code from the 15271–15278 family.
Does A2006 include interpretation?
No. CMS identifies A2006 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
How does the global-period rule affect payment?
A2006 is paid within the global period of its primary procedure. It must be reported with that procedure rather than as a standalone service.
