About Q4347: Rampart DL Matrix wound product
Report Q4347 for the Rampart DL Matrix product supplied for wound treatment, measured by the number of square centimeters furnished with the primary procedure.
Q4347 identifies the Rampart DL Matrix wound product by name and bills its quantity in square centimeters. It represents the product used during wound treatment, rather than the clinician’s work to prepare or treat the wound. Wound-care clinicians and surgeons may use wound matrices during treatment of wounds; the product code alone does not identify a particular wound site or establish the clinical reason for use.
Report the quantity supported by the record of the product used, and pair Q4347 with the primary procedure. CMS classifies it as an add-on code, paid within the primary procedure’s global period, so it is not submitted by itself. CMS also classifies it as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation. Documentation should identify Rampart DL Matrix and record the square centimeters used, alongside the primary procedure and its supporting documentation.

Q4347 billing questions
Can Q4347 be billed by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be billed with a primary procedure.
How should the quantity be reported?
The code is measured per square centimeter. Document the Rampart DL Matrix product and the square centimeters used.
Is Q4347 the wound application procedure?
No. Q4347 identifies the product; report the applicable primary procedure for the wound treatment.
How does the global period affect Q4347?
CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. It is not a separate procedure payment outside that pairing.
Does Q4347 include interpretation?
CMS classifies Q4347 as technical-component-only, with a separate code covering interpretation.
How is Q4347 distinguished from other matrix product codes?
Use Q4347 only when the product used is Rampart DL Matrix. Other product-specific codes identify different products, even when their descriptors also say matrix.
