Missouri rates for HCPCS 21188

Rebuilds the middle of the face, meaning the cheeks, upper jaw, and the bones around the nose and eye sockets, by cutting the bone into segments, moving them into a better position, and adding grafts of the patient's own bone. It is used when these bones are underdeveloped, sunken, or distorted after an injury, a birth difference, or earlier surgery. The bone cuts are planned around the individual face rather than following one of the standard patterns.
