• I need to code- get ICD-9 codes for a pharmacy for arestin- the conditions would be: Chronic Advanced periodontitis, and generalized marginal pappillary severe gingivitus.I am also trying to figure out what the correct bonegrafting codes we should be using. WE do them often, sometimes prior to implant, and soemtimes just for obtaining a level of bone for a prosthetic placment at some point. WE always do them with extractions and most of the time we also place the tissue- Mucograft.Is there a code for placing arestin when the patient gets it through a pharmacy? Either medical or dental?
