I'm drawing a blank. If the surgeon performs the procedure, packed the surgical wound and wrapped, with the intent to do additional debridement and closure 2-3 days later, would the original procedure require a modifier 52 for reduced services? Thanks.
 
Can you explain the first procedure a little more the secondary closure would be 13160 but need more clarifcation on what primary procedure was.
