    I am unsure, honestly, how to answer this. I am not familiar with anything beyond SNOMED and SNODENT. https://www.ada.org/resources/practice/dental-standards/snodent

    can we charge for a D0140 a day after patient seen for new patient exam D0150
    Pt seen to stablish care. Procedure code used D0150 the next day patient seen for a limited examination D0140 and extracted a tooth. I am curious if this will be considered over charging on exams, as pt just had a comprehensive exam the day before.

    If these two had taken place weeks apart, I think it would be fine. Doing a comprehensive one day and a limited the next day, my question as an auditor was the extraction planned on the D0150 exam and scheduled for the next day? If so, the D0140 I would say is overcharging unless you (more)

    Could you advise me as to when D9310 can be used?
    KK March 26, 2024 9:16 am
    I went to Aspen Dental to have a wisdom tooth removed. They made an appointment for the oral surgeon the following month at same office. The oral surgeon pulled the tooth. I was billed for a D9310 code. Which I believe is inaccurate.

    Can I be billed with procedure code D9310 in addition to procedure D3348?
    My dentist referred me to another dentist at another company for procedure D3348. After the procedure, I was billed D9310 in addition to D3348. I personally did not need a consultation and only required D3348. Do I have to pay this invoice and if not...
