What Q4274 covers
Q4274 identifies the Esano AC product supplied for wound coverage. A clinician may apply it to a wound as part of a skin-substitute procedure, such as treatment of a chronic ulcer. This code represents the product quantity, not the clinician’s wound preparation or application service. The application procedure is reported separately according to the site and area treated.
Report the units from the documented square centimeters of Esano AC furnished for the procedure, and retain the product record and wound-area documentation to support the quantity. Q4274 is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary procedure; its payment is within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation.
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.

Q4274 billing questions
How is Q4274 different from the other Esano codes?
Q4274 identifies Esano AC. Q4272, Q4273, and Q4275 identify other Esano product variants; report the code matching the product actually furnished.
Is Q4274 reported by wound or by square centimeter?
It is reported by square centimeter. The documented quantity should support the units billed.
Can Q4274 be billed without a wound application procedure?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary procedure; payment is within that procedure’s global period.
Does Q4274 include the wound application service?
No. Q4274 identifies the Esano AC product. Report the applicable wound application procedure separately.
What documentation supports the Q4274 units?
Document that Esano AC was furnished and the square-centimeter quantity used. The wound record should support the treated area and the product quantity.
How does CMS classify the code’s components?
CMS classifies Q4274 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
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.
