CPT code 14302 is a surgical procedure code for extending a skin repair that uses adjacent healthy tissue to repair lesions. Specifically, it covers an additional extension of up to 30.0 cm2 when performed in the same session as repair of lesions measuring 30.1 cm2 to 60.0 cm2. The code is relevant for surgical practices, hospitals, and payers because it defines billable work for additional tissue transfer performed during a single operative encounter and can affect operative coding, bundling, and reimbursement determinations at a national level.

Key payers discussed include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise breakdown of the clinical context of the code, typical sites of service, and the common payer landscape. The publication provides benchmarks and coding guidance context, outlines common modifiers used with surgical repair codes (modifier details are provided elsewhere in the full publication), and summarizes implications for documentation and claims submission. This national overview is intended to clarify what CPT code 14302 represents, how it fits into skin and soft tissue repair coding, and what areas of billing and policy to consider when this service is reported.
