Repairs
All repair codes include local anesthesia and wound closure with sutures, staples, or tissue adhesives. Closure with adhesive strips only does not merit a repair code, and is included in an evaluation and management code. Code selection is based upon location and measured length of the repair.
Coding Hint: When more than one repair of the same type (simple, intermediate, or complex) is done within one anatomical area, sum the lengths of the repairs and bill for one closure, as directed by the site and sum of the repair lengths. If the repairs of the same type are done in different anatomical code group areas, then bill each one individually.
