I've always thought that using silver nitrate on wound alone to seal a wound is consider simple repair but began second guessing myself.

Do we need to use modifier 52 when no suturing is involved and only silver nitrate was for chemically cauterizing/sealing wound?

Or is it truly billable as a simple repair?
