About Q4404: Xwrap Hydro Plus wound covering
Report Q4404 for each square centimeter of Xwrap Hydro Plus supplied for a wound, alongside the applicable wound application procedure.
Q4404 represents the Xwrap Hydro Plus wound-care product, measured by the square centimeter. It is a supply code, not the clinician’s work to prepare the wound or apply the material. Clinicians may use the product to cover a wound, including a chronic lower-extremity ulcer, in an office or facility wound-care setting. The product amount and the application service are accounted for separately.
Report units based on the documented area of Xwrap Hydro Plus used, and pair the product code with the primary procedure for its application, selected for the wound site and service performed. The record should identify the product, treatment site, area treated, and amount used. CMS classifies Q4404 as an add-on code: it must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation.

Q4404 billing questions
How is Q4404 different from Q4402, Q4403, or Q4408?
These codes identify different named Xwrap products. Select Q4404 only when the product used is Xwrap Hydro Plus; the wound area alone does not determine which product code applies.
What procedure should accompany Q4404?
Report it with the applicable primary wound application procedure, such as a code in the 15271–15278 family when that service and site qualify. Q4404 represents the product, not the application work.
How many units should be reported?
The descriptor is per square centimeter. Base units on the documented area of Xwrap Hydro Plus used, and retain records that support the amount reported.
Can Q4404 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure; payment is within that procedure’s global period.
Does Q4404 include interpretation?
CMS classifies Q4404 as technical-component-only and states that a separate code covers interpretation.
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.
