As of 1/1/20, CPT 20926 has been deleted. While you might be tempted to look for it’s replacement in the same section of CPT, the AMA has actually added 5 new codes to the Integumentary Section of the CPT manual (. The codes are distinguished by the method of obtaining the graft (direct excision vs. liposuction), the anatomic site where the graft is placed, and the amount of fat injected when applicable for the type of graft. Here is an overview of the new codes:
CPT 15769: Grafting of autologous soft tissue, other, harvested by direct excision (e.g., fat, dermis, fascia)
CPT 15771: Grafting of autologous fat harvested by liposuction technique to trunk, breasts, scalp, arms and/or legs; 50 cc or less of injectate
+ CPT 15772: Each additional 50 cc or part thereof (list separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
CPT 15773: Grafting of autologous fat harvested by liposuction technique to face, eyelids, mouth, neck, ears, orbits, genitalia, hands and/or feet; 25 cc or less of injectate
+ CPT 15774: Each additional 25 cc or part thereof (list separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
