What CPT® to use?

How would I code and excision of ischial ulcer?

The OP Note says " the ischial decubitus uler was irrigated with copious amounts of irrigation using the jet lavage irrigator. The wounds,skin,subQ tissue and muscle was surgically excised using sharp scissors,scalpel,electrocautery Bovie and Versajet. This was surgically excised to the level of bleeding subQ tissue. Then a Vac dressing applied.

Thanks

That was what I was looking at but the Doctor thinks I should use 15002.
I tried explaining to him that I couldn't use that code but he is arguing that this was what he did. So I wanted someone else's opinion.

Thanks
