Transfer of the Patient's Own Soft Tissue

Texas rates for HCPCS 15769

A piece of the patient's own soft tissue, such as fat, the deeper layer of the skin, or the tough fibrous sheet that wraps muscle, is taken from one part of the body and placed in another to fill a hollow or add padding and support. The tissue is removed through a direct cut rather than drawn out through a needle.
