About Q4216: Artacent Cord wound product
Reports the square-centimeter quantity of Artacent Cord used in wound treatment, alongside the primary procedure that applies the tissue product.
Q4216 identifies Artacent Cord, a cord-derived tissue product used in wound treatment. A wound-care clinician or surgeon applies the product to a prepared wound as part of a treatment plan; the product code represents the material rather than the clinician’s application work. The service may be furnished in an office or hospital outpatient setting.
Report Q4216 with the primary procedure for applying the product, selected according to the wound’s location and the applicable treatment area. Units represent the square centimeters of product reported. Documentation should identify Artacent Cord, the wound site, the amount used, and the related application procedure. CMS classifies Q4216 as an add-on code, so it is reported only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
