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!
HI I submitted a prior auth for D2392 and D2929 for several teeth and req to please allow for alt benefit for D2930 and downgrade to amal fee. I received the preauth back with only coverage on D2331 on #R . Can I legally submit a D2930 with our fee for and perform a D2929
If I send a claim to a primary insurance and they pay a portion and have a contractual adjustment that covers the remaining portion of the balance leaving no patient balance, is it appropriate to send the claim to the patients secondary insurance hoping they’ll pay what the primary adjusted off, or should the claim only be sent to secondary if the patient has a balance?
Hi all, my office keeps running into situations where patients will come in to see a dentist but no exam is performed. The patient will come in solely to ask questions about their situation or go over a treatment plan with the dentist with different family members. The office admin would like these visits billed out but I don't see an appropriate code. Maybe D9430? Would really appreciate any input on this, or what other offices do in this case. Thanks!
