About Q4292: Lamellas wound matrix, per square centimeter
Report Q4292 for each square centimeter of Lamellas wound matrix supplied with a qualifying wound-treatment procedure and applied to the treated area.
Q4292 represents Lamellas wound matrix by the square centimeter. It is used in wound care when this specific product is supplied for application to a wound. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use it in settings where wound treatment and product application are performed; the product code identifies the material, not the application service itself.
Report the number of square centimeters of Lamellas represented by the documented amount used, and pair the code with the appropriate primary procedure. The record should identify the product, treated wound, quantity used, and related procedure. CMS classifies Q4292 as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. It is technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. The procedure code describes the application, while Q4292 identifies the product.

Q4292 billing questions

Can Q4292 be billed without a wound application procedure?
No. CMS identifies Q4292 as an add-on code, so it must be reported with a primary procedure.

The descriptor is per square centimeter. Document the amount of Lamellas used and report the corresponding square-centimeter quantity.
Does Q4292 include the application service?
No. Q4292 identifies the Lamellas product; report the appropriate primary procedure for the wound application.
Does Q4292 include professional interpretation?
No. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation.
What documentation supports reporting Q4292?
Document the Lamellas product, the wound treated, the quantity used in square centimeters, and the primary procedure performed.
