About Q4289: Revoshield+ amniotic wound product
Reports the square-centimeter quantity of Revoshield+ amniotic wound material used with a primary skin-substitute application procedure.
Q4289 identifies the Revoshield+ amniotic product supplied for wound coverage, measured in square centimeters. It is generally reported by clinicians applying an amniotic membrane product during outpatient wound care, such as treatment of a chronic lower-extremity ulcer. The product line is distinct from the clinical work of preparing and treating the wound.
Report the quantity in square centimeters and pair Q4289 with the primary application procedure selected for the wound site and treated area; it is not a standalone application service. CMS treats it as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only, with interpretation covered by a separate code. Documentation should identify Revoshield+, the wound location, product quantity, and corresponding application procedure.

Q4289 billing questions
Can Q4289 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code, so report it with the applicable primary procedure rather than as a standalone service.
Which application procedure should accompany Q4289?
Choose the primary skin-substitute application procedure according to the treated body site and wound area. For example, 15271 and 15275 address different site groups.
How should the units be determined?
The code is measured per square centimeter. Document the product quantity associated with the application and the wound measurements supporting treatment.
Does Q4289 include the clinician’s wound application work?
Q4289 represents the Revoshield+ product quantity. Report the primary application procedure separately to represent the application service.
How does the technical-component rule affect reporting?
CMS classifies Q4289 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
What documentation supports Q4289?
Record the Revoshield+ product, the treated wound location, the square-centimeter quantity, and the primary application procedure.
Where these rates come from
