A patient was seen and the doctor gave the Nitrous Oxide D9230 and also was able to give the a local anesthetic, but then the patient became uncooperative. The patient was then referred to a specialist. Can you bill for the D9230 alone where it was given and the procedure was attempted?

Yes, you may bill for the N2O however you must have a brief explanation accompany the claim.

We have a patient who got extractions done by a different provider. We are doing the suture removal. We are aware that this is a non billable service. But, what is the most appropriate CDT non billable code to use in this case?

Admin May 29, 2015 10:27 am

If the provider is not part of your practice/facility this is a billable charge, and would be done so using CDT code D9999. This code would also be appropriate as a non-billable code for a provider in the same practice/facility.
