The CPT code for the removal of a strawberry nevus (hemangioma) with an autograft using a split-thickness skin graft is typically 17106 for the excision of a benign skin lesion, plus an additional code for the skin graft procedure. The specific code for the split-thickness skin graft would be 15100 for the first 100 cm² or less, and 15101 for each additional 100 cm² or less. Therefore, the final coding might include 17106, 15100, and 15101, depending on the exact size and details of the procedure. Always verify with the latest CPT code updates and guidelines.
