12002
The CPT code for a simple repair of a laceration is typically 12001 for a laceration of 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) or less, and 12002 for a laceration of 2.5 cm to 7.5 cm (about 1 to 3 inches). Since the laceration is 2 inches, you would use CPT code 12002. However, if the procedure was discontinued due to near-syncope, it may be appropriate to use an additional modifier (like -53 for discontinued procedure) to indicate that the procedure was not completed. Always consult the latest coding guidelines for specific circumstances.
