I just linked the Schedule of Benefits from OHIP in another comment I made, but your comment made me curious to look it up.
Z176 - Repair of lacerations - up to 5 cm = $20.00
Note: Wound closure via tissue adhesives (such as cyanoacrylate) is payable at 50% of the appropriate fee.
Meaning, in Ontario, your procedure would have cost us $10. I'd have to look through to see what other costs would be incurred for the ER visit, but suffice it to say, it's probably well under $6,000.
Oh, and that's $10 CAD, which is like 2 Freedom Bucks. ($7.52 USD)
