About Q4354: Palingen DL wound product
Q4354 identifies Palingen DL or Palingen DL-X furnished for wound treatment and reported as an add-on with a primary procedure.
Q4354 identifies the Palingen DL and Palingen DL-X wound products. They are used by clinicians treating difficult-to-heal wounds, including diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers, as part of a wound-care procedure. Wound care clinicians, podiatrists, and surgeons may furnish the product in an office, wound clinic, or hospital setting. Select this code only when the product used is Palingen DL or Palingen DL-X; a different wound matrix has its own product code.
Report Q4354 only with a primary procedure. CMS treats it as an add-on paid within that procedure’s global period, so it is not a standalone service. Keep documentation identifying the product, the treated wound, the amount used, and the associated primary procedure. CMS classifies Q4354 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Its CMS relative-value profile includes practice expense, with zero work and malpractice RVUs.
