What Q4362 covers

Q4362 represents the Cygnus disk product supplied for wound coverage, measured by the area of product reported in square centimeters. It is a product-supply code, not the clinician’s application service. Wound-care physicians and other qualified practitioners may use the product in outpatient wound clinics or hospital settings as part of treatment for a wound requiring a biologic covering.

Report Q4362 only with the applicable primary procedure; CMS treats it as an add-on and pays it within that procedure’s global period. Select the primary application procedure according to the wound’s location and the applicable procedure rules, and document the product used and the quantity supplied. CMS identifies Q4362 as technical-component-only: it represents the technical portion, while a separate code covers interpretation. The application service and product supply are distinct reporting elements.

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.

Q4362 billing questions

Is Q4362 the wound application procedure?

No. Q4362 reports the Cygnus disk product supply; report the applicable primary procedure for the clinician’s wound application service.

Which primary procedure is reported with Q4362?

Choose the primary skin-substitute application procedure based on the wound’s anatomic location and the applicable procedure criteria. For example, 15271 and 15275 cover different site groups.

How should the quantity be documented?

Document the Cygnus disk product used and the square-centimeter quantity supplied. The code is measured per square centimeter.

Can Q4362 be reported by itself?

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

Does Q4362 include professional interpretation?

No. CMS classifies it 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.
