About Q4299: Amniocore Pro+ wound product
Reports each square centimeter of Amniocore Pro+ furnished for wound treatment, alongside the primary procedure applying the tissue product.
Q4299 identifies Amniocore Pro+, an amniotic tissue product used in wound care. Wound-care physicians, podiatrists, and surgeons may apply it to chronic wounds, including diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers, in office or facility settings. The code represents the product supplied, rather than the clinician’s wound assessment or application work.
Report the quantity in square centimeters of product furnished, supported by records identifying Amniocore Pro+, the treated wound, and the amount used. Q4299 is an add-on code and must be billed with a primary procedure; CMS includes its payment within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies Q4299 as technical-component-only, with interpretation represented by a separate code. For a skin-substitute application, select the primary application code based on the site and area treated.
