About Q4293: Acesso DL wound product, per square centimeter
Q4293 identifies Acesso DL by square centimeter when the product is furnished with a primary procedure for wound treatment.
Q4293 identifies Acesso DL, a wound-care product reported by square centimeter. Clinicians treating open wounds may use the product during a wound procedure in settings such as a physician office or hospital outpatient department. This code represents the product, rather than the clinical work of preparing the wound or applying the material; the associated application is represented by a primary procedure code.
Report Q4293 only with a primary procedure, and keep the product quantity consistent with the square-centimeter amount documented in the product and wound records. Documentation should identify Acesso DL, the quantity furnished, the treated wound, and the associated procedure. CMS treats Q4293 as an add-on code paid within the primary procedure’s global period. It is also a technical-component-only code; a separate code covers interpretation.

Q4293 billing questions
Is Q4293 the wound application service?
No. It identifies the Acesso DL product by square centimeter. Report it with the primary procedure that represents the wound application.
Can Q4293 be billed by itself?
No. CMS classifies it as an add-on code, so it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period.
How should the quantity be documented?
Record the square-centimeter quantity of Acesso DL and identify the treated wound and associated primary procedure. The code’s unit basis is per square centimeter.
Does Q4293 include interpretation?
No. CMS classifies Q4293 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
How is Q4293 different from Q4292 or Q4294?
Those codes identify different named wound-care products. Use Q4293 when the documented product is Acesso DL, rather than selecting among them by wound size.
Where these rates come from
