A4358 descriptor and code status

The October 2026 HCPCS Level II file describes A4358 as “Urinary drainage bag, leg or abdomen, vinyl, with or without tube, with straps, each”. It sits in the A section (transportation, medical and surgical supplies, administrative, miscellaneous and investigational), listed with the other A codes.
