What Q4245 covers
Q4245 identifies Amniotext as a product reported by volume, with each billing unit representing one cubic centimeter. The code is classified as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Match reported units to the cubic centimeters furnished and documented. For example, 2 cc corresponds to 2 units. Q4247 instead identifies an Amniotext patch measured in square centimeters; Q4245 measures Amniotext by cubic centimeter.
Medicare assigns Q4245 carrier-priced status, meaning it publishes no national payment and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. HCPCS pricing places the code under contractor pricing through the physician fee schedule. Coverage is left to the contractor’s judgment. The quantity reported for Q4245 is based on volume, not the area-based measure used for Q4247.
