Hi! For WT ext's, the diagnosis code depends on the clinical reason for removal of the tooth. There is not one single ICD-10 code that applies to all wisdom teeth. K01.1- impacted teeth; K00.6- disturbances in tooth eruption (unerupted/ partially erupted w/o full impaction); K08.3- retained dental root (for residual tooth roots). For medical cross-billing, K01.1 (impacted teeth) is the most common code. If the case involves infection, pain, or other pathology, its best to include the most specific diagnosis that reflects medical necessity. Hope this helps!
