What Q4230 covers
Q4230 identifies Cogenex flowable amnion as a product reported by volume. Each claim unit represents 0.5 cc, making the billed quantity a measure of product volume. This distinguishes Q4230 from Q4229, which identifies Cogenex amniotic membrane by surface area. For example, 1 cc of Cogenex flowable amnion corresponds to 2 Q4230 units. The code identifies the product quantity; CMS classifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code.
Medicare lists Q4230 as carrier priced (status C), meaning the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. CMS assigns contractor pricing under the physician fee schedule and leaves coverage to the contractor's judgment. Thus, payment and coverage determinations are made by the contractor, while reported units reflect 0.5 cc each.
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.

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.
