Thank you for your inquiry about skin grafting for burn wound treatment.
Skin grafting is a critical procedure in burn care, helping to promote healing, restore skin integrity, and improve function and appearance after serious burn injuries.
In San Diego, several hospitals offer specialized burn care and reconstructive surgery services, including skin grafting:
Sharp Grossmont Hospital – Features a dedicated burn unit with experienced reconstructive surgeons skilled in skin grafting.
UC San Diego Health – Hillcrest Medical Center – Provides advanced burn treatment with a multidisciplinary team, including plastic and reconstructive surgeons.
Scripps Mercy Hospital – Offers comprehensive trauma and burn care services, including skin grafting procedures.
To access affordable care, I recommend checking for hospitals and surgeons within the Managed Health Network (MHN) provider network. MHN works to negotiate treatment costs and assist with insurance navigation, helping reduce out-of-pocket expenses while ensuring high-quality care.
Many hospitals also provide financial assistance programs or flexible payment options to support patients with medical expenses. Contacting the hospital’s billing or financial services department can offer more information on eligibility and options.
I encourage you to consult with a board-certified plastic or reconstructive surgeon who specializes in burn care to discuss your specific condition and treatment plan.
If you need help identifying affordable providers or navigating insurance benefits within the MHN network, please feel free to reach out to MHN patient support services.
Wishing you a smooth treatment and full recovery.
