What Q4224 covers
Q4224 identifies HHF10-P, a wound-care tissue product reported by square-centimeter quantity. It represents the product used during wound treatment, rather than the clinician’s work to prepare or apply it. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use the product in outpatient or facility settings when treating a wound and performing a separately coded primary procedure.
Report Q4224 with the applicable primary procedure, not by itself; CMS treats it as an add-on code paid within that procedure’s global period. Record the product and the square-centimeter quantity used, along with the wound site and the associated procedure. CMS classifies Q4224 as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code. The primary procedure code describes the wound treatment; Q4224 identifies the HHF10-P product quantity.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

Q4224 billing questions
Can Q4224 be reported by itself?
No. CMS identifies Q4224 as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
Which service is commonly paired with Q4224?
Pair it with the applicable skin substitute application procedure, such as CPT 15271 for a qualifying trunk, arm, or leg site.
How should the quantity be documented?
Document the HHF10-P product and the square-centimeter quantity used, along with the treated wound site and the primary procedure.
Does Q4224 include the wound application work?
No. Q4224 identifies the product quantity; report the appropriate primary procedure for the wound-treatment service.
Is there a separate interpretation component?
CMS classifies Q4224 as technical-component-only and states that a separate code covers interpretation.
How does Q4224 differ from Q4223?
Both are product-specific codes reported by square-centimeter quantity, but Q4224 identifies HHF10-P and Q4223 identifies a different product. Select the code matching the product used.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
