🤔 Is Repair of wound of eyelids, nose, ears, or lips by transferring skin, 10.0 sq cm or less Overpriced?

Based on the data, CPT 14060 shows a 1.3x variation in pricing across states — relatively consistent by Medicare standards.

Costs have increased 1.3% 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.
