CPT code 15275 covers the application of a skin substitute (allograft or xenograft) to wounds on anatomically sensitive areas — including the face, scalp, eyelids, mouth, neck, ears, orbits, genitalia, hands, feet, and multiple digits — for the first 25 cm2 of treated area (with coverage up to 100 cm2 overall). This procedure code is nationally relevant because it captures complex wound coverage performed in outpatient surgical settings and has implications for billing, clinical documentation, and payer coverage decisions. Key payers in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.
