Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · Q4241 nationwide

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What Q4241 covers

Q4241 identifies Polycyte when the product is furnished for topical use. The code identifies a specific product and billing increment; it should be selected by product identity and route, rather than by the volume unit alone. Each unit represents 0.5 cc of Polycyte.

Medicare assigns carrier-priced status (status C), so there is no national payment amount; the Medicare Administrative Contractor establishes payment for each claim. HCPCS pricing places the code under contractor pricing through the physician fee schedule, while coverage is left to contractor judgment. Report units according to the volume furnished using the 0.5 cc increment. CMS classifies Q4241 as technical-component-only and identifies a separate code for interpretation; interpretation is not reported with Q4241.

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.
