About Q4158: Kerecis Omega3 wound matrix by area
Q4158 reports Kerecis Omega3 fish-skin wound matrix by square centimeter when used with a primary skin substitute application procedure.
Q4158 identifies Kerecis Omega3, a fish-skin wound matrix used as a biologic covering for wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. A wound-care clinician or surgeon applies the product to a prepared wound bed in an office, hospital outpatient department, or other treatment setting. The product is reported separately from the procedure used to apply it.
Report the quantity in square centimeters, supported by the product amount used and documentation of the treated wound and application. Pair Q4158 with the appropriate primary skin substitute application procedure for the wound site and area; it is not reported alone. CMS classifies Q4158 as an add-on code paid within the primary procedure’s global period. CMS also identifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code.

Can Q4158 be billed without a wound application procedure?
No. CMS identifies Q4158 as an add-on code, so report it only with an appropriate primary skin substitute application procedure.
How should the Q4158 units be determined?
The descriptor is per square centimeter. Document the product amount used and the wound area treated to support the reported quantity.
Is the Kerecis product included in the application procedure?
Q4158 reports the product by area, while the primary procedure reports its application. Report both when the product is used and the application procedure is performed.
What should the record show for Q4158?
Document the wound site, treated area, Kerecis Omega3 product used, quantity in square centimeters, and the application procedure.
What does the technical-component-only designation mean for this code?
CMS lists Q4158 as technical-component-only and indicates that interpretation is covered by a separate code.
Does Q4158 have its own global period?
CMS treats it as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period.
