Frequently asked questions

Often yes—when criteria are met. Insurers (including Medicare) generally cover surgical dressings for active, draining wounds with proper documentation, orders, measurements, and demonstrated need.

There isn’t a single CPT for “collagen application.” You typically report the visit/debridement if performed and bill the supply with its HCPCS code (e.g., A6021/A6022), per payer rules.

When medical-necessity criteria are met—active drainage, appropriate wound cleansing, measurements, and a valid order—A6212 is commonly covered. Quantity limits apply; justify extra supplies with documented exudate level, size, and dressing change frequency.
