Skin graft

I am preparing an estimate for a patient who is having a large malignant lesion removed. There is the possibility of a skin graft due to size. I am thinking I would only use code 15240 for the facility (outpatient hospital) and not on the physician estimate. Is that correct? Or can both the facility and the physician charge this code for the same procedure?
Thank you for any assistance you can offer. I just began in oncology in February and it is a huge change from an ophthalmic private practice!!
