Closure included...
According to CCI edits, you can report 28080 with a simple closure code using modifier 25, 57 or 59. However, I don't believe any of these modifiers apply to your case. I believe they would only apply if you were reporting the closure for another procedure done on the same claim. If you are only reporting 28080, the closure is included.
