About Q4280: Xcell amniotic matrix product
Report Q4280 for each square centimeter of Xcell amniotic matrix supplied for wound treatment alongside the related primary procedure.
Q4280 identifies Xcell amniotic matrix used as a wound-covering product. A physician or other qualified practitioner may apply it to a prepared wound in an outpatient wound clinic, office, or hospital outpatient setting. The HCPCS line represents the product, not the clinical work of preparing the wound or applying the matrix; those services are reported separately when supported by the encounter.
Report the quantity in square centimeters and document the product used and the amount applied. Q4280 is an add-on code and must be billed with a primary procedure; Medicare payment for it falls within that procedure’s global period. CMS classifies Q4280 as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation. Application CPT selection depends on the wound site and treated area, not on the product code.
