About Q4298: AmnioCore Pro wound product by area
Q4298 reports AmnioCore Pro by square centimeter when the named amniotic tissue product is used with a primary wound procedure.
Q4298 identifies AmnioCore Pro, an amniotic tissue product reported by the square centimeter for wound coverage. In wound-care practice, clinicians may apply the product to a prepared wound bed, including a chronic lower-extremity ulcer. This code identifies the named product; it does not describe wound preparation or the procedure used to apply it. The record should identify the product and the wound treated.
Report Q4298 only with a primary procedure, and count the product area in square centimeters. Documentation should support the amount used and the related wound procedure. CMS treats the code as an add-on paid within that procedure’s global period, so it is not a stand-alone service outside the primary procedure. CMS also classifies Q4298 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
