    Is there documentation to support when it is appropriate to bill D0470, Diagnostic Casts? I have a provider that seems to think that he can bill this code when taking impressions and bite registration for a sleep apnea appliance. I would like to have something in writing to support the explanation of this code. Thank you.

    I am trying to code for an immediate full implant supported hybrid denture for an upper arch and I am unsure of which codes to use. The oral surgeon will be providing the implants and multiunit abutments and I will be providing the prosthesis. I believe CDT code D6078 is for the abutment supported fixed denture. I cannot find the code for the temporary immediate prosthesis. Is there a separate code? Are there other codes I need to be using for this case? Thank you in advance!
