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

What Q4379 covers

Q4379 identifies the AmnioDefend FT wound graft product, reported by the square centimeter furnished. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use it during a procedure to cover a wound bed; the application service is reported separately under the appropriate primary procedure code. The product code identifies the material, not the clinician’s work in preparing the wound or applying the graft.

Report units based on the documented square centimeters of product furnished, and pair Q4379 with the primary procedure. The record should identify AmnioDefend FT, the wound site, the amount used, and the associated application procedure. CMS classifies Q4379 as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as 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.
