Can you use only D0150 for comp exam for a child under 3 or do you have to use D0145?
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.
The Oral Surgeon Charged me $2,500.00 when I made the Appointment and I have to pay another $2,500.00 before I have the Proceedure. There was No Dental code Provided.
When billing D0251, should we bill 1 or 2 units of this because it's both the right and left side? And does it matter if it's for primary or permanent teeth?
If a patient has a primary plan either through an employer or the open market, will as supplementary plan like AFLAC or Colonial Life with no COB be listed as secondary? I just would like some clarification. COB has rules but when there is no COB some direction is helpful.
Specialist #1 referred patient to specialist #2 for a broken tooth. Oral evaluation and x-rays were taken. Tooth was extracted at the same appointment. A separate charge from the tooth extraction fee, a consultation fee of $99.was charged. That second charge was denied by insurance. Is that not the correct code? Thanks!
is there global surgical packages in the dental practice
