What 13122 covers
13122 captures the additional length of a complex wound closure on the scalp, an arm, or a leg after the initial length has been reported. A surgeon, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist may perform it after traumatic laceration repair or closure following lesion excision, in an office procedure room or operating room. The repair must meet complex-repair criteria, such as extensive undermining, scar revision, or work beyond routine layered closure; layered closure alone supports an intermediate repair, not this code.
Report 13122 with the primary complex repair code for the same site grouping when total repaired length extends beyond the primary code’s span; it represents each additional 5 cm or less. For wounds in the same classification and anatomic grouping, follow CPT length-aggregation instructions before assigning the base and additional units. Documentation should identify the site, final repaired length, tissue layers, and the work supporting complex repair. CMS treats 13122 as an add-on: submit it with a primary procedure, and its payment falls within that procedure’s global period.
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.

13122 billing questions
Can 13122 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on for additional length and must be submitted with the primary complex repair procedure.
Which primary repair code is paired with 13122?
For a complex repair on the scalp, arm, or leg that exceeds 7.5 cm, report 13121 for the primary length and 13122 for each additional 5 cm or less.
How are multiple wounds counted?
Apply CPT instructions for combining lengths of wounds in the same repair classification and anatomic grouping before selecting the primary code and additional units.
Does layered closure alone support 13122?
No. The repair must meet complex-repair criteria, with documentation of work beyond routine layered closure, such as extensive undermining or scar revision.
What documentation supports the additional-length code?
Record the scalp, arm, or leg site, the final repaired length, the repair layers, and the details establishing complex repair.
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.
