Which CPT codes are equivalent and can this even be done after dental already paid a portion. Do I only include the code that was not a covered benefit? Thank you

posted August 9, 2013 11:52 am in reply to Dental insurance denied benefits for non-IV sedation code D9248 used for the extraction of coronal remnants for 3 primary teeth code D7111. I am being told to bill the medical insurance? Is this ok to do? I remember a previous question I asked on this site and was told to submit a claim to medical if 7 or more extractions are being performed. Thank you for any explanation of what to do in this situation. Our office frequently uses code D9248 and it is almost never a covered dental benefit. Does that mean I should be submitting it to the person's medical insurance?

posted August 8, 2013 9:59 am in reply to I billed out code D1550 (recement space maintainer) and the claim was rejected for needing a tooth number. Would the tooth number associated with this code be the tooth it is replacing? Ex: The space maintainer is connected to tooth A & C but filling the gap of missing tooth B on a child. Thank you
