If we do a limited dental exam for our craniofacial patients outside of the dental office in a medical setting. Do we bill D0140?

We are in network with both Delta Dental and Health Partners. A family we provide dental care for has Delta Dental as their primary and Health Partners as their secondary. Would we do the provider write off on both or just the secondary?

if a patient needs an updated pano for 3rd molar removal. Can you down code this for 4 pa's?
Anonymous November 21, 2025 11:59 pm
The answer is No. If the patient's insurance doesn't cover a pano, then charge it to the patient. If you were going to get $70 from ins., charge $70 to patient. That way you get your pano paid and patient doesn't rejects treatment because you change $300 for a pano image.

Is perio maintenance covered (4910) on a patient that has elevated probing depths, but has maintained good oral health, and does not have an SRP on record? SRP isn't currently needed but in reality, this is a 4910 not a 1110 code.

Hi! It depends on the insurance's rules. Typically, the rule of thumb is that the total sum of the X-rays cannot exceed the cost of the FMX in the insurance's contracted rate. Example: If an FMX is $90 total and the patient is eligible for an FMX, if you billed 4 BWX and 4 PA's (more)
