What Q4295 covers
Q4295 identifies Amnio Tri-Core, an amniotic tissue product used as a biologic covering in wound care. It represents the product rather than the clinician’s placement service. In outpatient wound treatment, the treating clinician applies the product to the prepared wound; the appropriate application procedure depends on the treated site and wound area.
Report Q4295 by the square centimeter and only with a primary procedure, as CMS classifies it as an add-on paid within that procedure’s global period. Documentation should identify Amnio Tri-Core and support the area represented by the reported quantity. CMS assigns no physician work RVUs and 3.81 practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings. CMS classifies the code as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
