Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
