About Q4369: Amnioplast 3 wound covering supply
Reports the square-centimeter supply of Amnioplast 3 when this amniotic membrane-based wound covering is applied with an eligible primary procedure.
Q4369 identifies the supply of Amnioplast 3, an amniotic membrane-based wound covering measured by square centimeter. It represents the product, not wound-bed preparation or placement. Wound-care physicians, podiatrists, and surgeons may use this type of graft material in outpatient wound clinics or hospital outpatient settings for wounds such as diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers. Report Q4369 only when this specific product is supplied.
Count units by the square centimeters represented by the product used. Documentation should identify the product, wound site, treated area, quantity applied, and associated application procedure. Select the application procedure by anatomic site and wound area; 15271 or 15272 may be appropriate for qualifying trunk, arm, or leg wounds. CMS classifies Q4369 as an add-on code: submit it only with a primary procedure, and its payment falls within that procedure’s global period. It is technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.

Q4369 billing questions
Can Q4369 be billed by itself?
No. CMS classifies it as an add-on code, so it must be reported with a primary procedure.
Does Q4369 include the graft application?
No. Q4369 identifies the Amnioplast 3 product supply. Report the applicable primary procedure for placement based on the wound site and area.
How are units determined?
The code is measured per square centimeter. Document the treated area and the quantity of Amnioplast 3 used.
Does Q4369 include a professional interpretation?
No. CMS identifies Q4369 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
How does Q4369 differ from Q4368 or Q4372?
Each identifies a different named wound product. Report Q4369 only when Amnioplast 3 was supplied; use the code matching the product actually used.
