About Q4408: Xwrap Hydro wound product supply
Report Q4408 for the per-square-centimeter supply of Xwrap Hydro used with a primary wound procedure for a chronic or hard-to-heal wound.
Q4408 identifies the Xwrap Hydro wound product supplied for application to a wound. It may be used in wound-care treatment, including care of chronic ulcers such as diabetic foot or venous leg ulcers. A clinician performing the wound procedure typically documents the wound site and the product used; the code describes the product supply rather than the wound-care clinician’s evaluation or application service.
Report the product quantity in square centimeters and pair Q4408 with the primary procedure. The record should support the exact product and the amount used. CMS classifies Q4408 as an add-on code, so it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. It is also technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Select a different product code when the product actually furnished is a different Xwrap formulation.

Q4408 billing questions
When should Q4408 be chosen instead of another Xwrap product code?
Use Q4408 when the product furnished is Xwrap Hydro. Select the code matching the exact product used, such as Xwrap Hydro Plus or Xwrap 2.0, when that is what the record identifies.
Can Q4408 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
How is the quantity reported?
The code is defined per square centimeter, so document the product amount in square centimeters and report the corresponding quantity.
Does Q4408 include the wound application procedure?
Q4408 identifies the product supply. Report the applicable primary wound procedure separately.
Does Q4408 include interpretation?
No. CMS classifies this as a technical-component-only code; a separate code covers interpretation.
What documentation supports Q4408?
Document the wound site, the specific Xwrap Hydro product furnished, and the quantity used in square centimeters, along with the associated primary procedure.
