30 year-old female is having 15 sq cm debridement performed on an infected ulcer with eschar on the right foot. Using sharp dissection, the ulcer was debrided all the way to down to the bone of the foot. The bone had to be minimally trimmed because of a sharp point at the end of the metatarsal. After debriding the area, there was minimal bleeding because of very poor circulation of the foot. It seems that the toes next to the ulcer may have some involvement and cultures were taken. The area was dressed with sterile saline and dressings and then wrapped. What CPT® code should be reported? A. 11043 B. 11012 C. 11044 D. 11042 --CORRECT ANSWER-- Debridement is not being performed on an open fracture/open dislocation eliminating multiple choice answer B. The ulcer was debrided all the way to the bone of the foot, making multiple choice answer C, the correct procedure. Answer C
