About Q4132: Grafix Core wound matrix product
Reports Grafix Core or GrafixPL Core placental membrane product by square centimeter when supplied for application to a wound with a primary procedure.
Q4132 identifies the Grafix Core or GrafixPL Core placental membrane product supplied for wound treatment. Clinicians such as surgeons, podiatrists, and wound-care providers may use these products during treatment of chronic or other open wounds in office, outpatient, or hospital settings. The code represents the product, not the clinician’s wound assessment or application service.
Report the product with the applicable primary wound-application procedure, using the documented product and square centimeters supplied. The record should identify the Grafix product and support the quantity reported. CMS treats Q4132 as an add-on code: it is billed with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. CMS also identifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code.
