We are FQHC. One of our patient's needed clearance for an organ transplant. They originally saw a medical provider. That provider sent a request to our dentist asking for them to evaluate the patient to be cleared for the transplant. The patient made an appointment on following date of service. Our dentist evaluated and cleared patient. What is the best code for this? We are thinking D9310.

We have patients that come into the hospital due to issue where they can’t have the restorative procedures done without anesthesia. My question is, under anesthesia, if provider performs radiographic images and bitewings, can it be coded with a restorative procedure(s)? For example: D2930, D7140 with D0220 and D0272. Should the D0220 and D0272 not be coded? Thank you for your assistance.
