HCPCS 15100

Split-thickness autograft, trunk, arms, legs; first 100 sq cm or less, or 1% of body area of infants and children

AI EXPLANATION: A split-thickness skin graft is a surgical procedure used to repair skin that has been damaged by burns, trauma, infections, or wound-healing complications. A surgeon carefully removes a thin layer of healthy skin—consisting of the epidermis and a portion of the dermis—from an unaffected area of the body, known as the donor site. This harvested skin is then placed over the open wound on the trunk, arms, or legs to promote healing and restore the skin's protective barrier.
