I’m not saying the price is ok, but I’m guessing based on the description that includes a plastic surgeon given its a wound to the face. Generally speaking they’re going to charge a huge premium for one of those guys because that’s the going rate: people don’t like scars on their face.
I’d be curious what the price is for non-face stitches.
- Someone 5y agoSo, how much of a premium would that plastic surgeon get? Even if it’s $50k ($2k per millimeter of stitchwork), that still leaves over $40k to explain. Also, can a wound sized 2.5cm or less that can be stitched up be complicated to stitch? I would think/guess many of them would be glued nowadays.
- tyingq 5y agoIt doesn't include a plastic surgeon. That CPT code is very specific and translates to "Simple repair of superficial wounds of face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips and/or mucous membranes". There are different codes for more complex work: Intermediate repair (CPT codes 12031 – 12057) Complex repair (CPT codes 13100 – 13160)
