What would be the appropriate modifers if coding 11602 twice due to two seperate sites along with the 12042 which is the closure.
:)
 
Separate incisions

If two incisions were required to removed two lesions in the same operative session, you would use a -59 modifier on the second one.

Hope that helps.
