Complex Removal Of An Object Under The Skin

Florida rates for HCPCS 10121

This is the surgical removal of a foreign object lodged just beneath the skin, done in a more involved way than a simple removal — for example because the object is deeply embedded, hard to locate, or surrounded by inflamed or infected tissue. It typically requires a larger incision or more extensive exploration than a straightforward removal. The wound is then cleaned and closed.
