About Q4153: Dermavest or Plurivest wound product
Reports Dermavest or Plurivest supplied for wound treatment, with the quantity measured in square centimeters and billed with a primary procedure.
Q4153 identifies Dermavest or Plurivest supplied for application to a wound, with quantity expressed in square centimeters. A wound-care physician, podiatrist, or surgeon may apply the product to a prepared wound bed in an office-based wound clinic or hospital outpatient setting. The code identifies the named product, not the wound’s size or the clinician’s application work, so the product reported should match what was actually used.
Select Q4153 by product identity and report the quantity in square centimeters, supported by documentation of the product, treated site, amount used, and associated primary procedure. This is an add-on code: report it only with a primary procedure, and CMS payment falls within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies Q4153 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Keep the product quantity distinct from the primary procedure in the claim documentation.
