HCPCS Level II
Wound care HCPCS code lookup
Every active A6000–A6599 code, plus tape, with CMS's official descriptors. Search by code, words or size.
191 active codes37 carried by PCSS CMS file updated
How to read the list. Descriptors are CMS's own words, verbatim. “PCSS carries” marks codes PCSS suggests for its products. PCSS's suggested HCPCS categories (July 2026) are for reference only, based on product type and pad size. Confirm final coding with your billing staff.
Bordered dressings. The CMS descriptor says “with any size adhesive border”, so the code follows the pad size, not the overall dressing size. The border isn't counted. Those rows are marked “Pad size sets the code; the adhesive border isn't counted.”

About this list
Where the descriptors come from
Level II HCPCS codes and descriptors are maintained by CMS. This list is taken from the October 2026 Alpha-Numeric HCPCS File on CMS's HCPCS quarterly update page (updated September 23, 2026) and includes every A6000–A6599 code with no termination date as of October 6, 2026, plus tape codes A4450 and A4452.
The descriptors say what each code covers; they don't decide coverage or payment for a claim. Confirm final coding with your billing staff.
