When billing D0251, should we bill 1 or 2 units of this because it’s both the right and left side? And does it matter if it’s for primary or permanent teeth?

Extraoral images are captured when the image receptor is placed outside the patient’s mouth, such as a CBCT or panoramic X-ray. For D0251, you will bill one unit since it is categorized as an image of the entire posterior dental region. This code can be billed for both primary and permanent teeth.
