About Q4345: Matrix HD allograft supply

Reports Matrix HD human allograft matrix by square centimeter when supplied for wound treatment alongside a qualifying skin-substitute application procedure.

Q4345 identifies Matrix HD allograft matrix supplied for wound treatment, with units tied to square centimeters. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use the product to cover a prepared wound bed. The code represents the product rather than the clinical work of preparing the site or applying the matrix, which is reported with the appropriate application procedure. The product may be furnished in an office or an outpatient facility, depending on the treatment setting.

Report Q4345 only with a primary procedure, such as the applicable skin-substitute application code selected for the treated site and wound area. Document the product used, treated site, application procedure, and square centimeters represented by the claim units. CMS treats Q4345 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as a technical-component-only code, with interpretation covered by a separate code.

Q4345 billing questions

Which application procedure should accompany Q4345?

Pair it with the application code appropriate to the wound location and area, such as 15271 or 15275. Q4345 reports the Matrix HD product, not the application service.

How should units be reported?

The code is based on square centimeters. Document the amount represented by the billed units and the treated wound area.

Can Q4345 be billed by itself?

No. CMS identifies it as an add-on that must be billed with a primary procedure.

What does the global-period rule mean for billing?

Payment for Q4345 is handled within the primary procedure’s global period. Link the product claim to the qualifying primary procedure.

Does Q4345 include the wound application work?

No. Q4345 identifies the Matrix HD product; report the appropriate application procedure separately as the primary service.
