Medical ins requires CPT codes rather than CDT codes. When a hospital bills CPT 41899 (unlisted dentoalveolar procedure) for dental restorations performed under general anesthesia, the dentist would bill dental insurance using the appropriate CDT restoration codes (such as D2330-D2394 for composite restorations) and D9223/D9222 for general anesthesia. If billing medical insurance for anesthesia, the appropriate CPT code is usually D00170 (anesthesia for intraoral procedures)
