Skin Substitute Graft For A Larger Wound, Sensitive Area

Michigan rates for HCPCS 15277

This procedure applies a lab-made or donor-derived skin substitute over an open wound in a sensitive area such as the face, scalp, hands, or feet, to help protect the area and support healing. It's used for a wound that covers a sizeable surface area, larger than what a single small graft would cover. The material acts as a temporary or supportive covering rather than the patient's own skin.
