EFFECTIVE. EFFICIENT. RELIABLE.

The SUPRATHEL® artificial wound and burn dressing is a thin elastic membrane, adapts itself optimally to the surface of the wound, and adheres on its own. SUPRATHEL® is only applied once onto the previously cleaned and disinfected wound where it remains until the wound is completely healed. After it is applied, the membrane becomes translucent and makes the inspection of the healing process possible.
SUPRATHEL® can be removed easily from the healed skin parts without causing any pain.

SUPRATHEL® was developed for the management of epidermal and dermal wounds. SUPRATHEL® covers a wide range of wound care application:

  • Partial and full thickness wounds
  • Pressure (stage I and IV) and venous ulcers
  • Ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies
  • Venous stasis and diabetic ulcers
  • 1st and 2nd degree burns
  • Partial thickness burns
  • Cuts and abrasions
  • Acute wounds
  • Trauma wounds
  • Surgical wounds
  • Superficial wounds
  • Grafted wounds and donor sites

HCPCS Code A2012 – SUPRATHEL

Effective April 1, 2022, CMS created HCPCS code A2012 that may be reported for SUPRATHEL® Synthetic Skin Substitute.

When billed in the physician office, HCPCS code A2012  should be reported for SUPRATHEL along with the appropriate CPT code for the application of skin substitute (CPT codes 15271-15278).

As of January 1, 2023, CMS has assigned SUPRATHEL to the high-cost category when billed in the hospital outpatient and ASC setting. It is important to note:

  • Hospital outpatient departments will report the appropriate CPT codes for the application of skin substitute and A2012 for SUPRATHEL.
  • ASCs will report the appropriate CPT code for the application of skin substitute. ASCs do not separately report the A-code.
