posted February 6, 2015 2:04 pm in reply to When modifying an existing denture to accommodate implants after implant surgery, we use code D5875. Our question however, is whether we should bill separately for the housing assembly portion that is imbedded in the retrofitted denture? It seems like in this case we should bill for the D5875 as well as D5862 (mini implants) or D6062 (full size implants)to cover the cost of the housings. Need your help. Thanks.

posted February 6, 2015 1:58 pm in reply to When billing for normal implant maintenance, i.e., cleaning the implants and the IS prosthesis we use code D6080. Where we are confused is how to properly bill for O-ring replacements done at the same time. How do we bill for the O-rings? If O-rings are also billed under D6080 would we bill D6080 twice, once charging for the regular maintenance and the other charging for the O-ring replacements separately? Is this the correct way to do it, or will it be denied? Thank you.

posted November 12, 2014 9:09 pm in reply to I currently contract with an office that recently filed a claim for procedure code D4211 gingivectomy. Delta Dental denied claim because gums had SRP'S done earlier this year. I saw that gingivectomy has other codes assoicated with it one being D4212 which I think is coded when procedure is done to remove gum tissue for a restoration. Do you think they can use that code or was the correct code used since they had perio treatment done earlier this year?

posted November 6, 2014 9:50 am in reply to Hi, we billed a D2394 for #28 for surfaces MODB and claim was denied for invalid surfaces. The CDT does not specify what surfaces are billable with this code. Is there a way to know which surfaces are valid for D2394?
