A 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

area was dressed with sterile saline and dressings and then wrapped. What CPT®
code should be reported?
