About Q4287: Dermabind DL wound product
Reports Dermabind DL by square centimeter when supplied with a primary wound procedure for application to a prepared wound bed.
Q4287 identifies Dermabind DL, a wound-care product reported by the square centimeter. Wound-care clinicians, surgeons, and podiatrists may use it when applying the product to a prepared wound bed. The product code identifies the material supplied; the primary procedure code describes the wound application service. Record the wound location and treated area, along with the product and quantity used, so the reported units can be tied to the clinical service.
This is an add-on code and must be billed with a primary procedure; it is paid within that procedure’s global period. Report units based on the square centimeters represented by the Dermabind DL supplied for the service. CMS classifies Q4287 as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code. Keep the product documentation distinct from the record supporting the primary wound application procedure.
