About Q4350: Palisade DM wound matrix supply
Reports Palisade DM matrix by square centimeter when the material is used with a primary wound procedure, such as skin substitute application.
Q4350 identifies Palisade DM matrix used as wound-care graft material. A physician or other qualified practitioner may apply the matrix in an outpatient wound clinic or surgical setting as part of treatment for a wound. The code identifies the specific product and measures it by square centimeter; it is not a general code for any wound covering or matrix product.
Report Q4350 only with a primary procedure, using the square-centimeter quantity supported by the product used and the wound-care record. Documentation should identify Palisade DM, the wound treated, the amount applied, and the related procedure. CMS classifies this as an add-on code and pays it within the primary procedure's global period. It is technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.
