🤔 Is Complicated repair of wound of forehead, cheeks, chin, mouth, neck, underarms, genitals, hands, or feet, 2.6-7.5 cm Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT 13132 shows a 1.9x variation in pricing across states — moderate variation by Medicare standards.

Costs have decreased 4.1% since 2014. Medicare's fee schedule attempts to standardize pricing, though some variation is expected due to geographic cost-of-living adjustments and practice expense differences.

This analysis is based on publicly available CMS data and does not account for patient complexity, comorbidities, or facility-specific factors that may justify pricing differences.
