Complex Wound Repair, Scalp/Arm/Leg, Medium Size

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 13121

A provider closes a wound on the scalp, arm, or leg using a more involved, multi-layered repair technique rather than simple stitches, for a wound of a moderate size. This method may involve additional steps like extensive cleaning, removing damaged tissue, or reshaping the wound edges to achieve a better result. It's used when a wound is too complicated or contaminated for a basic closure.
