California rates for HCPCS 12016

Closes a cut on the face, ear, eyelid, nose, lip or the lining inside the mouth with stitches. It is the straightforward, one-layer kind of closure, used when the wound edges meet neatly and the deeper layers do not need separate repair. It covers a long cut rather than a small one.
