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.

Q4282 billing questions

Can Q4282 be billed by itself?

No. CMS identifies Q4282 as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure. Payment is within that procedure’s global period.

How should units be determined?

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.

Does this code include interpretation?

No. CMS classifies Q4282 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.

Can another wound product code be used for Cygnus Dual?

No. Select Q4282 when Cygnus Dual is the product furnished. Other product codes identify different products and are not substitutes for the product actually used.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
