Skin Flap Repair, Scalp/Arms/Legs, Large Area

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 14021

This procedure repairs a wound or defect on the scalp, an arm, or a leg by moving a section of nearby skin and its underlying tissue to cover the area, rather than using a graft from elsewhere on the body, for a larger-sized defect. Because the moved tissue keeps its own blood supply, it tends to heal well and blend with the surrounding skin.
