This code is used inbetween D0140 interchanged every 6 months and is used as a limited evaluation for a specific problem.

For example if the patient came in with tooth pain on 4/6/2014 and you performed a limited exam you would use D0140, and then the patient came back on 5/7/2014 for a cracked tooth and you performed a limited exam you would use D0170.
