Kentucky rates for HCPCS 15150

Applies a sheet of skin grown in a laboratory from a small sample of the patient's own skin, used to cover a wound on the trunk, an arm, or a leg. Because the sheet is grown from the person's own cells, the body does not reject it. This covers a small treated area; larger areas are billed separately.
