Full-Thickness Skin Graft To The Scalp, Arm, Or Leg

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 15220

A full-thickness patch of the patient's own skin, including its deeper layer, is removed from a donor site and stitched into place over a wound on the scalp, arm, or leg, and the donor site itself is stitched closed directly. This is a thicker, sturdier graft than a thin, split-thickness graft, and this entry covers the first section of coverage.
