About Q4283: Biovance Tri wound covering supply

Reports Biovance Tri or 3L wound product by square centimeter when supplied with a primary procedure for wound treatment.

Q4283 identifies Biovance Tri or 3L, a wound-care product supplied by area for application to a prepared wound bed. Wound-care clinicians, including physicians, podiatrists, and surgeons, may use it in office-based wound clinics or hospital outpatient settings. The code represents the product, not the clinician’s wound preparation or application work; those services are reported separately when appropriate.

Report the measured square centimeters of Biovance Tri or 3L associated with the primary procedure, and document the specific product and treated area. Q4283 is an add-on code: submit it only with a primary procedure, and CMS payment falls within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation represented by a separate code. The record should make clear that the product furnished was Biovance Tri or 3L rather than another wound product.

Q4283 billing questions

How is Q4283 different from another wound-product code?

Q4283 identifies Biovance Tri or 3L specifically. Select the product code that matches the material actually furnished; do not choose based only on a similar wound-care use.

Can Q4283 be billed by itself?

No. CMS identifies Q4283 as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.

How is the quantity reported?

The code is measured per square centimeter. Document the area of Biovance Tri or 3L associated with the treatment.

Does Q4283 include the wound application service?

Q4283 identifies the product, not the clinician’s application work. Report the applicable primary procedure separately when performed.

How does the global-period payment rule affect Q4283?

CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. It must accompany that primary procedure.

What should the record identify?

Document Biovance Tri or 3L by name, the treated area, and the square-centimeter quantity reported.
