What Q4195 covers

Q4195 represents the PuraPly wound matrix product, measured in square centimeters, rather than the clinician’s work applying it. It may be used in wound care for conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. A physician or other qualified clinician typically prepares the wound bed and applies the product in an office or outpatient setting; the application procedure is reported separately when appropriate.

Report the number of square-centimeter units supported by the product amount used, with documentation of the wound dimensions, product applied, and related application service. CMS designates Q4195 as an add-on code, so it must be reported with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only; a separate code represents any interpretation. CMS assigns no physician work or malpractice RVUs to Q4195; its listed RVUs are for practice expense.

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.

Q4195 billing questions

Is Q4195 the wound application procedure?

No. Q4195 reports the PuraPly product by the square centimeter. Report the wound application procedure separately when appropriate.

Can Q4195 be billed by itself?

No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure, and payment falls within that procedure’s global period.

How should units be supported?

Document wound dimensions and the amount of PuraPly applied so the billed square-centimeter units are supported.

How does Q4195 differ from Q4196?

Q4195 identifies PuraPly, while Q4196 identifies PuraPly AM. Use the code matching the product supplied.

Does Q4195 include interpretation?

No. CMS classifies Q4195 as technical-component-only and indicates that 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.
