Billing for implants is the same as billing for a crown or bridge. Without seeing the providers notes if a single crown is supported by an abutment you may consider using D6058-D6094 instead.

This is considered the same as a diagnostic casts(study models, diagnostic models), in essence it is a working mold. Therefore, the appropriate code would be D0470

This is carrier specific and you will need to check with each individual carrier guidelines. However according to Delta Dental Utilization Review the rule of thumb is to bill on the delivery date.

The appropriate way to submit the claim would be to have the attending provider’s information in box 45-52a and the treating/resident/hygienist information placed in box 53-58 of the ADA 2012 claim form. You may submit the claim with the hygienist or residents NPI number only as long as the attending has both NPI and license (more)

You would need to code the appropriate oral cancer code (170.1, 198.5, ect) as the initial diagnosis and Xerostomia (527.7) as the secondary diagnosis. Since fluoride trays are not typically a covered procedure under medical and there is no specific code the most appropriate procedure or CPT code would be 21089. This code will need (more)
