About Q4440: Curamatrix wound matrix supply
Report Q4440 for each square centimeter of Curamatrix used in wound treatment, together with the primary procedure that applies the matrix.
Q4440 identifies the Curamatrix wound product by the square centimeter. It represents the product used on a wound bed, not the clinician’s work to prepare or treat the wound. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use the matrix during an office, outpatient, or facility-based wound procedure; the clinical record should identify the treated wound and the product used.
Report Q4440 only with the primary procedure for the wound treatment. CMS treats this as an add-on code, paid within the primary procedure’s global period. Report units based on the square centimeters represented by the product used, and retain documentation supporting the wound area and product quantity. CMS classifies Q4440 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. The record should distinguish Curamatrix from other wound products billed under their own product codes.

Q4440 billing questions
How is Q4440 different from another wound-product code?
Q4440 identifies Curamatrix specifically. Select the product code that matches the product actually used, rather than choosing by wound size or appearance alone.
Can Q4440 be billed without a primary procedure?
No. CMS identifies Q4440 as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period.
How are units determined?
The code is reported per square centimeter. Documentation should support the wound area treated and the quantity of Curamatrix used.
Does Q4440 include the clinician’s wound-treatment work?
No. Q4440 identifies the Curamatrix product; the primary procedure accounts for the wound treatment and application service.
Does Q4440 include interpretation?
