Skin Substitute Graft, Larger Area

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 15278

This procedure applies a skin substitute, a specially prepared graft material rather than the patient's own skin, over a wound in a sensitive area such as the face, hands, feet, or genitals. It covers additional wound surface beyond an initial section already treated, for a larger overall wound. The graft material helps protect the wound and supports healing of the skin underneath.
