Outer-Layer Skin Graft To Trunk, Arm, Or Leg

California rates for HCPCS 15110

A very thin graft made up of only the outermost layer of skin is taken from the patient's own body and laid onto a wound on the trunk, an arm, or a leg. Because just the surface layer is lifted, the donor site heals quickly and leaves little scarring. It covers the first area treated; each further area is billed separately.
