About Q4355: Abio XPL or XPL HY wound material
Report Abio XPL or Abio XPL HY by square centimeter when this material is supplied during a separately reported wound application procedure.
Q4355 identifies Abio XPL or Abio XPL HY material supplied for placement on a wound. A clinician performing the application may use the material as part of wound coverage in an office or facility. This code identifies the specific product, rather than the clinician’s work of preparing the wound and placing the material.
Select Q4355 only when the treatment record identifies Abio XPL or Abio XPL HY, and report the quantity in square centimeters. Document the product used, the wound site, the measured area, and the accompanying application procedure. CMS classifies Q4355 as an add-on code: it is billed with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only. Q4355 therefore represents the technical portion; a separate code covers interpretation when that service is reported.
