Layered Repair Of A Larger Wound

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 12046

This is a layered surgical closure of a wound on the neck, hand, foot, or genital area, where the deeper tissue layers beneath the skin are stitched closed in addition to the skin surface itself. It is used for a wound that is too large or too deep for a simple single-layer stitching. Closing the deeper layers helps the wound heal with a stronger, more even result than a surface closure alone.
