About Q4128: FlexHD or AlloPatch HD skin matrix
Reports FlexHD or AlloPatch HD biologic matrix by square centimeter when supplied for a skin-substitute application procedure.
Q4128 identifies FlexHD or AlloPatch HD, human-derived biologic matrices used as skin substitutes to cover a wound or support tissue repair. The product may be supplied for wound-care or surgical treatment, with the clinician selecting and applying it to the prepared site. The code represents the named product, not the work of preparing the wound or applying the matrix.
Report Q4128 with the primary procedure for the skin-substitute application, not as a stand-alone service. Units are based on the documented square centimeters of product reported; the record should identify the product, wound site, and amount used. CMS treats this as an add-on code, so payment falls within the primary procedure's global period. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
