How should I bill for a visit for a small laceration that was closed with Surgicel? Should it be a laceration repair or just an office visit?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I would code it as an office visit since Surgicel is used to promote clot formation and is not a tissue adhesive or chemical cautery substance.
