About A2027: Matriderm dermal matrix supply

Report A2027 for each square centimeter of MatriDerm dermal matrix supplied with a qualifying primary procedure for wound or burn reconstruction.

A2027 identifies MatriDerm, a collagen-and-elastin dermal matrix used in wound and burn reconstruction, including as a scaffold in procedures that may also use a skin graft. The product is measured by surface area. It may be used in surgical settings by clinicians treating complex wounds or burns; the associated application or reconstruction procedure is reported separately as the primary service.

Report A2027 only with a primary procedure, and count units according to the documented square centimeters of MatriDerm supplied. The record should identify the product, treatment site, amount used, and the primary procedure performed. CMS treats A2027 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. It is technical-component-only; a separate code represents interpretation, when applicable.
