If a dentist sees a red or white lesion during a 150 exam and wants to re evaluate the pt in 2 weeks, is she/he allowed to use D0170 code? Will the insurance deny it?

Thank you so much!

    Yes, D0170 is the correct code to use. Some will require chart notes. Most insurances will tell you to write it off if you are in network. If not in network, they will make the patient responsible.
