If I treat a patient for scaling in one to three teeth code 4342 and all four quadrants will the patient's insurance company allow for a D 4910 for maintenance every three months
Hi all, my office keeps running into situations where patients will come in to see a dentist but no exam is performed. The patient will come in solely to ask questions about their situation or go over a treatment plan with the dentist with different family members. The office admin would like these visits billed out but I don't see an appropriate code. Maybe D9430? Would really appreciate any input on this, or what other offices do in this case. Thanks!
Can someone help me with filling out a medical claim form for wisdom teeth extractions? My Dr. performed D7220 and D7230's on a patient. Their dental coverage is requiring filing with medical coverage first before dental will pay anything. I believe I have the correct form to use. However, I do not know the CPT, modifier or diagnosis codes to use on the form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you are in network and the insurance downgrades the code can we collect from the patient?
I have a patient that has had SRP. He has been on perio maintenance (4910) for a year. If they have improved can they go back to an adult prophy (1110) or do they have to stay at a 4910? I was told once we use 4910 they have to stay with that code.
i was told you should always take only the primary adjustment but was always taught to take the higher amount. which is it?
Should a Dentist charge a separate lab fee for this type of crown
What is the code for the visit between extraction and dental implant
If I send a claim to a primary insurance and they pay a portion and have a contractual adjustment that covers the remaining portion of the balance leaving no patient balance, is it appropriate to send the claim to the patients secondary insurance hoping they’ll pay what the primary adjusted off, or should the claim only be sent to secondary if the patient has a balance?
