About Q4416: AlexiGuard TL-T wound product
Reports the AlexiGuard TL-T wound product by square centimeter when furnished with a primary procedure for wound treatment.
Q4416 identifies the AlexiGuard TL-T product supplied for wound treatment, measured by the area used. The code describes the product line, not the wound-care procedure itself. It may be encountered in outpatient wound-care settings where clinicians treat wounds and document the product placed. The code alone does not establish the wound type, application method, or clinical result.
Report Q4416 only with a primary procedure, as required for this add-on code. Determine units from the documented square-centimeter quantity of product used, and retain the product identity, amount, and treated area in the record. CMS places payment for this code within the primary procedure's global period. It represents the technical component; a separate code covers interpretation. The professional interpretation should therefore be represented separately when applicable, rather than included in Q4416.

Q4416 billing questions
How is Q4416 distinguished from Q4415 and Q4417?
All three identify AlexiGuard products, but Q4416 specifies the TL-T variant. Use the code matching the exact product documented; the neighboring variant codes identify ST-L and DL-T products.
Can Q4416 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies Q4416 as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
How should the units be determined?
Report the square-centimeter quantity supported by the record for the AlexiGuard TL-T product used. Document the treated area and the amount of product supplied.
Does Q4416 include interpretation?
No. CMS classifies it as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
What should the claim record support?
Document the product as AlexiGuard TL-T, its quantity in square centimeters, the treated area, and the primary procedure billed with it.
