About Q4288: Dermabind CH wound product
Reports Dermabind CH by square centimeter as a wound-covering product supplied with a primary wound application procedure.
Q4288 identifies Dermabind CH supplied by surface area for use as a wound-covering tissue product. In outpatient wound clinics, hospital departments, and surgical settings, a clinician may apply the material over a prepared wound bed, including in wound care for diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers. The code represents the product quantity, not the clinician’s wound evaluation or application work. The treating surgeon, podiatrist, or other wound-care clinician documents the wound site and treatment performed.
Report Q4288 only with a qualifying primary application procedure; CMS treats it as an add-on and pays it within that procedure’s global period. Select the primary application code based on the anatomic site and treated area, and report Q4288 units according to the documented square centimeters of Dermabind CH. Records should identify the product, wound site, amount applied, and related application service. Q4288 is technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
