Patient undergoes simple repair of multiple skin lacerationleft foot and toes patient also undergoes intermediate repair of left heel laceration cpt modifier 12002.1?

The CPT modifier 12002 indicates an intermediate repair of a wound, specifically for lacerations that are deeper and require more complex closure techniques, such as sutures. In this case, the patient underwent both a simple repair for multiple skin lacerations on the left foot and toes and an intermediate repair for a deeper laceration on the left heel. The use of modifier 12002 highlights the complexity of the heel repair in contrast to the simpler closure of the other lacerations. Proper coding ensures accurate billing and reflects the level of care provided.
