2025 HCPCS code A4927

Non-sterile gloves, per 100.

Code A4927 is reported per 100 gloves. It is inappropriate to report this code when sterile gloves (A4930) are required.

Medical necessity is established by the clinical context requiring barrier protection for infection control during patient contact, even when sterile conditions are not necessary.

Used by healthcare providers for patient examinations and procedures not requiring sterile gloves. Responsibility includes ensuring proper glove usage and disposal according to infection control guidelines.

IMPORTANT For sterile gloves, use code A4930.

In simple words: This code covers a box of 100 non-sterile gloves used by healthcare professionals for procedures that don't require sterile conditions, like routine checkups. They protect both the patient and the healthcare worker from germs.

This code represents non-sterile disposable gloves, supplied in quantities of 100.These gloves are typically used for non-surgical medical procedures and examinations where sterility is not required but barrier protection is necessary.

Example 1: A nurse uses non-sterile gloves (A4927) during a routine patient check-up involving taking vital signs and a physical examination., A phlebotomist uses non-sterile gloves when drawing blood samples from a patient., An EMT uses non-sterile gloves when providing initial assessment and first aid to a patient at the scene of an accident.

Documentation should specify the quantity of gloves used, usually based on the number of boxes or individual gloves, and the medical context of their use, such as the specific examination or procedure performed.
