CPT code 15775 represents a minor surgical hair transplantation procedure in which a provider prepares and transplants 1 to 15 hair grafts from a hair-bearing scalp site into a hairless target area. This code captures a focused micrografting technique commonly used in cosmetic and reconstructive settings for small alopecic defects. Nationally, the code matters for coverage determinations, bundled payment considerations for cosmetic versus reconstructive indications, and consistent reporting of outpatient skin and hair restoration procedures.

Key payers referenced include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of clinical intent and typical settings, a summary of common modifiers used with this service, and guidance on the types of documentation and coding considerations that influence payer adjudication. The publication also covers benchmark rate comparisons where available, typical payer coverage approaches for cosmetic versus reconstructive indications, and implications for service-line planning in outpatient surgical centers. Data not available in the input is noted where specific payer policy details, associated ICD-10 diagnoses, and related codes would otherwise be listed.
