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.

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.
A2047 billing questions
Can A2047 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code, so report it only with a qualifying primary procedure for the wound service.
How are A2047 units calculated?
Use the square centimeters of LacertaMatrix furnished. Document the wound treated and the product amount supporting the units reported.
Does A2047 include the wound application procedure?
A2047 identifies the product, not the primary wound procedure. Report the qualifying primary procedure separately; payment for A2047 falls within that procedure’s global period.
Does A2047 include a professional interpretation?
CMS classifies A2047 as technical-component-only and assigns interpretation to a separate code. The code itself carries no physician work value.
What documentation supports A2047?
Keep the product record, the treated wound location, and the square centimeters furnished, along with documentation supporting the primary procedure.
