Per CPT guidance ...
For debridement of skin, i.e. epidermis and/or dermis only, see 97597, 97598

Hope that helps.

As you can see, you bumped a question from 2011. CPT 11040 was discontinued in 2011. It no longer exists. Presumably, that was the point of the original question. Tessa's response correctly identifies the replacement code as 97597.
