Flap Repair Of A Skin Wound (Scalp Or Limbs)

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 14020

After removing a lesion or repairing a wound on the scalp, arm, or leg, a surgeon reshapes and repositions nearby skin to cover the defect, rather than taking a patch of skin from elsewhere on the body. This flap technique often gives a better cosmetic result than simply closing the wound edge to edge.
