What types of extensive cleaning should be done to make a simple laceration repair be moved to intermediate? All open wounds should be irrigated before closure so what kind of cleaning would make it intermediate and does the extensive cleaning have to be done by the physician or can this be done by a nurse and still charge the higher repair code.
Thanks
