If we extract a root tip that was left behind by another provider, how would we bill for that? It is a permanent tooth. I know we would use D7111 for primary teeth, but I cannot find a code for that with permanent teeth. D7250 does not apply in our case because the procedure was not surgical. Is D7140 appropriate and if not what is the best code to use?

73 yo with squamous carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx ICD10 (C32.1), she will be receiving radiation therapy to the head and neck. We have a letter from radiation oncologist requesting extractions of her decayed and terminal dentition. This requirement is directly related to a medical diagnosis. We want to submit the claim to Medicare. What information do we need to submit? We submit claims electronically, please give ICD 10 diagnosis code and CPT procedure codes to use. Can we use dental codes on Medicare claim form?

I'm really kind of new to dental billing and I am not quite sure what to send on a code that is by report. Are there any special rules when billing D7971 -excision of salivary gland, by report? Can you help me with this?

we have questions about the new dental code of D9311 ( consult w/ medical health care professional). What kind of documentation is required in order to bill out this code for dental services ( amount of time spent w/ medical provider discussing the patient's medical history, etc.) and where should it be documented ( in patient's medical and dental chart)? Also, we have clinics that offer medical and dental services both in the same building and sometimes we have patients who are being seen for dental and their face is swollen so we have to send them over to the medical side of our facilities for a rocephin shot and was wondering if the D9311 code would be appropriate to use in those cases.
