What Q4167 covers
Q4167 identifies TruSkin, a wound-covering product reported by square centimeter when used in a skin-substitute or graft treatment. Wound-care physicians and other qualified practitioners may use it during treatment of an ulcer or another wound selected for tissue-product coverage. The code identifies the product actually applied; wound type alone does not determine which product code to report.
Report Q4167 only with the appropriate primary application procedure, selected according to the treated site and wound area. Record the product used, wound location, treated area, and quantity applied in square centimeters. CMS treats Q4167 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period, not as a stand-alone service. It is also a technical-component-only code; 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.

Q4167 billing questions
Can Q4167 be billed without a wound application procedure?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure. The product code is reported with the applicable wound application service.
How should the units be determined?
Report the quantity of TruSkin used in square centimeters. Document the product amount applied; wound dimensions alone do not establish the product quantity.
How is Q4167 different from Q4166?
Q4167 identifies TruSkin, while Q4166 identifies Cytal. Select the code that matches the product actually used, not the wound’s location or diagnosis.
Does Q4167 include the application procedure?
No. Q4167 identifies the TruSkin product and is billed with a primary wound application procedure, such as the appropriate code from the 15271–15278 family.
What documentation supports reporting Q4167?
Document the product as TruSkin, the wound location and treated area, and the square-centimeter quantity applied. The record should also support the primary application procedure.
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.
