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!

Hi! In past offices, we have used code D9310: Consultation - Diagnostic service provided by dentist or physician other than requesting dentist or physician.
