If the dentist sees that decay is further along than originally diagnosed and chooses D2799 then months later decides patient needs D2740 am I able to transfer payment from D2799 to D2740?

Hi! This is usually up to the provider/ office manager for the pt payment. Will any insurance be billed? If so, the insurance could possibly deduct what they paid toward the D2799 from what they would pay for the D2740 if the pt has coverage for those services.
