Small Pinch Skin Graft

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 15050

A minor skin grafting procedure in which one or more tiny pieces of skin, about the size of a small coin fragment or smaller, are taken and placed over a small wound such as a fingertip injury, small ulcer, or other minor skin defect. It is used for small areas rather than larger wounds that would need a full-sized skin graft. The technique is simpler and involves less tissue than standard skin grafting procedures.
