Simple Stitching Of A Long Facial Wound

California rates for HCPCS 12015

Closes a straightforward cut on the face, ear, eyelid, nose, lip, or the moist lining inside the mouth with a single layer of stitches. Only the skin or lining is involved, and the edges come together without any deeper repair. This covers a long wound, well beyond the few centimeters handled by the shorter repairs.
