About Q4183: SurgiGraft wound graft material
Q4183 reports SurgiGraft by the square centimeter when the material is used with a primary wound graft procedure.
Q4183 represents SurgiGraft material measured by the square centimeter for use in wound care. It is reported for the product used with a primary procedure to apply a skin substitute graft, such as treatment of a wound in a wound-care clinic or other setting where the graft application is performed. The code identifies the material, not the clinician’s work of applying it.
Report the quantity in square centimeters and document the product used, the wound site and area treated, and the associated primary application procedure. CMS classifies Q4183 as an add-on: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. Its PFS valuation contains practice expense but no physician work or malpractice value. CMS identifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code.
