About A2016: Permeaderm B wound product
Report A2016 for each square centimeter of Permeaderm B supplied for wound coverage, alongside the primary procedure applying the product.
A2016 represents the Permeaderm B wound product measured by surface area. It identifies the product supplied for coverage of a treated wound; it is not the clinician’s application service. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use the product during a wound-treatment procedure, with the application performed in an outpatient or facility setting.
Report the product quantity in square centimeters and pair A2016 with the appropriate primary procedure for applying a skin substitute or graft, selected for the treated site and area. Documentation should identify Permeaderm B, the wound treated, the quantity used, and the related application procedure. CMS treats A2016 as an add-on, payable only with a primary procedure and within that procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only; a separate code represents interpretation.

A2016 billing questions
Can A2016 be submitted by itself?
No. CMS identifies A2016 as an add-on code, so it must be billed with a primary procedure.
How is the quantity reported?
The code is measured per square centimeter. Record the Permeaderm B quantity used and the wound area treated in the supporting documentation.
Which application procedure should accompany A2016?
Choose the primary skin-substitute application procedure according to the treated anatomical site and area. For example, CPT 15271 is a primary application code for its defined site and area group.
Does A2016 include the clinician's application work?
No. A2016 identifies the product; report the appropriate primary procedure for the application service. The product code is classified by CMS as technical-component-only, with interpretation represented separately.
How does A2016 differ from A2017?
A2016 identifies Permeaderm B by square centimeter. A2017 identifies Permeaderm glove by each.
How does A2016 differ from A2018?
