What 13102 covers

This add-on captures additional length in a complex wound closure on the trunk after the primary repair length has been coded. It may apply to repairs on the chest, abdomen, or back when closure involves work beyond routine layered approximation, such as extensive undermining, scar revision, or substantial wound-edge preparation. Surgeons, dermatologists, and other clinicians performing wound repair may report it in office, emergency, or operating-room settings.

Report one unit for each additional 5 cm or less beyond the base repair length, with 13101 as the primary code; 13102 is not reported alone. Documentation should identify the trunk site, total repaired length, and the work supporting complex rather than intermediate repair. Medicare treats this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period, so postoperative care follows that primary service’s global-period framework.

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.

13102 billing questions

Can 13102 be reported by itself?

No. It is an add-on reported with 13101 for additional complex repair length on the trunk.

How much additional length does one unit cover?

Each unit represents an additional 5 cm or less beyond the length covered by the primary repair code. Document the total repaired length.

When is 13101 used instead?

13101 reports the primary complex trunk repair when its length is 2.6–7.5 cm. 13102 captures additional length beyond that base range.

Does layered closure alone support complex repair?

Not by itself. The record should describe the additional work or wound features that make the repair complex, such as extensive undermining or scar revision.

Does 13102 have its own global period?

Medicare treats this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. Postoperative care is associated with that primary service.

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.
