What A2015 covers
A2015 identifies Phoenix wound matrix supplied for application to a wound. It is a product code, not a code for the clinician’s wound assessment or the application work itself. Wound-care clinicians may use the matrix during treatment in an outpatient wound clinic or another setting where wound procedures are performed.
Report the code only with a primary procedure, using units that reflect the documented square centimeters of Phoenix matrix furnished. Keep product and quantity details in the record so the billed units can be traced to the material used. CMS treats A2015 as an add-on code, paid within the primary procedure’s global period; it is not reported by itself. CMS also identifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
