About Q4282: Cygnus Dual wound product
Report Q4282 for each square centimeter of Cygnus Dual furnished for wound treatment, alongside the primary procedure to which the product is applied.
Q4282 identifies Cygnus Dual, a wound-care product supplied and measured by square centimeter. It may be used in treatment of a wound, such as a chronic ulcer, when the clinician selects this specific product. The code represents the product, not the clinician’s assessment or the work of applying it. Wound-care clinicians and other qualified providers may use it in office or facility settings as part of a wound-treatment encounter.
Report units based on the documented square centimeters of Cygnus Dual furnished, and identify the product and treated wound in the record. Q4282 is an add-on code: submit it only with a primary procedure, and payment falls within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies the code as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Keep the product line distinct from the primary procedure and from documentation of the application service.

Use the documented square centimeters of Cygnus Dual furnished. Record the product and the amount used for the treated wound.
Does Q4282 include the application service?
Q4282 identifies the product, not the application work. Report it with the required primary procedure rather than treating the product line as a standalone service.

No. CMS classifies Q4282 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
Can another wound product code be used for Cygnus Dual?
