What Q4104 covers
Q4104 identifies Integra Bilayer Wound Matrix (BMWD), a collagen-based wound matrix with a protective outer layer used to cover partial- and full-thickness wounds. Typical settings include wound-care clinics, outpatient surgery, and hospital-based wound treatment. Clinicians may use it for chronic ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, or burns; the treating clinician applies the product to the prepared wound.
Report the product with the primary wound or skin-substitute application procedure, not as a stand-alone service. CMS classifies Q4104 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. The code represents the product rather than the clinician’s application work; document the product used and the wound area treated, and report units according to the applicable HCPCS descriptor. CMS also identifies Q4104 as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code when applicable.

Document the BMWD product used and the wound area treated. Report units according to the applicable HCPCS descriptor and the documented quantity.
