(D0272) and (D0330) are the bwx's included in a pano or are they to be separated?
Patient was administered anesthetic, gum tissue was opened, & a burr was used to grind off a piece of tori that was protruding from LR lingual area.
What is the appropriate code for a patient who presents for an appointment but had to be rescheduled since they forgot to take their premedication antibiotics? No treatment was performed.t performed office visit
Would this be something we could bill to insurances and Medicaid patients IF we tell them upfront that they will need to pay for that part of the service? Or, is there an obscure code that we can utilize to collect on behalf of waste fees?
is there global surgical packages in the dental practice
Pt presents for cleaning, not due for periodic exam or xrays, but has a question about a tooth so a PA is taken and Dr evaluates. I would typically bill out a periodic with the pa and prophy however it was brought up that D0140 may be applicable.
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!
