What Q4306 covers
Q4306 reports the American Amnion AC amniotic membrane product used as a wound-covering material. It represents the product supply measured by area, rather than the clinician’s work to prepare and place the material. Wound-care clinicians, including physicians and other qualified practitioners, may use it during skin-substitute treatment of a wound in an office or facility setting.
Report the square-centimeter quantity supported by the product and wound documentation, and pair the code with the primary procedure for the application. The record should identify the product, treated wound site, amount used, and application service. Q4306 is an add-on code and is paid within the primary procedure’s global period. It is technical-component-only; a separate code covers 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.

Q4306 billing questions
Can Q4306 be reported by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
Does Q4306 report the application work?
No. It reports American Amnion AC product by square centimeter. Report the primary application procedure separately.
How should units be determined?
Use the square-centimeter quantity supported by the product and wound documentation. Record the product and the treated area.
Is interpretation included in Q4306?
No. CMS classifies the code as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
Which application code should accompany it?
Select the primary application procedure based on the wound site and treated area. For example, 15271, 15273, and 15275 cover different application circumstances.
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.
