Skin Flap Repair, Larger Defect

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 14301

After a growth or damaged area of skin is removed, the skin next to it and underlying tissue are shifted to cover a larger resulting gap, rather than closing it with a simple straight stitch line. This applies at this size regardless of which part of the body is involved. Unlike a free skin graft taken from a separate donor site, the repositioned tissue keeps its own blood supply.
