d0470 diagnostic casts, what code is for the wax up
My dentist referred me to another dentist at another company for procedure D3348. After the procedure, I was billed D9310 in addition to D3348. I personally did not need a consultation and only required D3348. Do I have to pay this invoice and if not, on what basis?

If a patient has a primary plan either through an employer or the open market, will as supplementary plan like AFLAC or Colonial Life with no COB be listed as secondary? I just would like some clarification. COB has rules but when there is no COB some direction is helpful.
