Stitches are billed by the length of the cut, where it is, and how complex the repair is. A simple repair closes one layer of skin; an intermediate repair closes deeper layers or cleans a dirty wound. The biggest price difference is where you go: an emergency department adds an ER visit fee on top of the repair, while urgent care clinics usually charge much less for the same cut.

Paying cash: what to do
- For a cut that is not bleeding heavily, an urgent care clinic is usually far cheaper than an emergency department.
- Ask whether the price includes the visit fee, supplies and a tetanus shot if you need one.
- Keep the wound clean and dry for the first day and follow the instructions for stitch removal, which may be a separate visit.
