What 12007 covers

This code describes simple closure of superficial wounds in the scalp, neck, axillae, external genitalia, or trunk when the qualifying repaired length exceeds 30 cm. Simple repair involves closure of the superficial wound layers without the layered work that characterizes an intermediate repair. Emergency department and urgent care clinicians commonly report it for extensive lacerations; surgeons and other clinicians may perform the repair in office or facility settings.

Select the code based on repair complexity, listed body-site group, and total repaired length. Add lengths of wounds in the same complexity and anatomic grouping; the documentation should identify each site, wound length, and the simple closure performed. This is a minor procedure with a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

12007 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 12006?

Both cover simple repair in the same site group. Use 12007 when the qualifying total repaired length is more than 30 cm; 12006 covers 20.1–30.0 cm.

Can lengths from multiple wounds be combined?

Yes, combine lengths of wounds repaired with the same complexity in the same anatomic grouping. Document the individual sites and lengths supporting the total.

What documentation supports simple rather than intermediate repair?

Describe the wound depth and closure technique. A superficial closure supports simple repair; layered closure requiring intermediate repair is not reported with this code.

Should modifier 50 be used for wounds on both sides of the body?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; select it from the total qualifying length and listed body sites.

How does the multiple-procedure payment rule affect this service?

When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
