A patient's dental insurance was billed for 3rd molars and sedation. Insurance charged and paid as follows: D7230 x4 $350; D9241 $300; D9742 $75 for a total of $1775. Dental insurance subtracted the $50 deductible and then paid @ 50% or $862.5 leaving the patient with a balance of $912.50. MY QUESTION THEN is WHAT codes do we use to charge his medical insurance? Also, should we have charged medical insurance first? THANK YOU!

Does the code D2751 Crown – Porcelain fused to predominantly base metal (or any crown material code) mean only the physical crown itself (like, the part I can place in my hand)? Or does that code also include the crown prep? (anesthesia, removal of decay, buildup for crown retention)

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!
