Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 15110 covers

This service covers harvesting a patient's epidermal tissue and placing it as an autograft on a wound of the trunk, an arm, or a leg. Plastic surgeons, burn surgeons, and other physicians performing wound reconstruction may use it for wound coverage in an operating room or outpatient procedure setting. The code represents the initial area unit: 100 square centimeters, or 1% of body surface area for infants and children, as applicable to the patient and code family.

Select the code by graft type, recipient site, and treated area; document the wound location, graft method, and area treated. Report 15111 for additional area beyond the initial unit when its criteria are met. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
