About Q4336: Artacent C wound product supply
Reports the square-centimeter quantity of Artacent C supplied for wound treatment alongside a primary procedure that applies the product.
Q4336 identifies the Artacent C wound product supplied by square centimeter for use as a biologic wound covering. It represents the product, not the clinician’s work of preparing the wound or placing the material. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may furnish it in outpatient wound-care settings as part of a skin-substitute application.
Report Q4336 only with a primary procedure; CMS treats it as an add-on and pays it within that procedure’s global period. Base the units on the documented square-centimeter quantity and retain records identifying the product, quantity, and treated wound. CMS classifies Q4336 as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code; the product charge itself does not represent interpretive professional work.

Q4336 billing questions
What does Q4336 represent?
It represents Artacent C supplied per square centimeter for wound treatment. The wound preparation and application work belong to the primary procedure, not this product code.
Can Q4336 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies Q4336 as an add-on code, so it must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period.
How should the units be supported?
Document the Artacent C product and the square-centimeter quantity supplied for the treated wound. The claim units should correspond to that documented quantity.
Does Q4336 include professional interpretation?
No. CMS classifies it as a technical-component-only code and specifies that a separate code covers interpretation.
How is Q4336 different from Q4337?
Q4336 identifies Artacent C, while Q4337 identifies Artacent Trident. They are distinct product codes, each reported by square centimeter.
