re: CPT® code

Start in the index of the CPT® book in order to answer this question:

Debridement
Bone 11044, 11047
with Open fracture and/or dislocation 11020
Skin 11000-11001, 15920--15999, 11000--11006, 11042--11047

ETC

Then, go to the tabular listing. Look at codes 11042, 11043, 11044 and their add on codes (which are out of sequence) and ask the clinician which was done. Notice that they are defined by square cm.
