General dentist coded D0140 for tooth pain. Recommended RCT and got RCT at endodontist through referral. Endodontist coded D0140 again. Went back to general dentist for filling of crown. Got billed with D0140 again. Does this look correct to keep billing D0140 even though was evaluted for problem focused first time by general dentist?
The hygienist doesn't want to take all 7 images because patient doesn't have enough teeth to justify taking the full 7 VBWX. Is there a way to bill just four images?
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.
If a dentist sees a red or white lesion during a 150 exam and wants to re evaluate the pt in 2 weeks, is she/he allowed to use D0170 code? Will the insurance deny it?
Thank you so much!
e.g. WDS plans will say
Fluoride toothpaste following periodontal procedure 100%. I've spoken to the company and they suggested D0999. The EOB note read: description for this treatment has a valid CDT code and does not match the submitted procedure code. What code would be correct code for Clinpro 5000 dispensed for take home?
