Can I bill dental codes to medical insurance for medically necessary dental and orthodontic treatment for a Cleft palate patient?
Austinida September 8, 2025 7:22 am
You are able to bill CDT codes to medical insurance for cleft palate treatment, but CDT codes are not typically the preferred codes for billing medical insurance, especially for surgical procedures. CDT codes may be used for orthodontic treatment, prosthodontic appliances (like palatal obturators, etc), and adjunctive dental services like x-rays and evaluations, but for (more)

If the dentist sees that decay is further along than originally diagnosed and chooses D2799 then months later decides patient needs D2740 am I able to transfer payment from D2799 to D2740?
