I know there are snow med and snow dent - but the ada has their own list of condition codes right?
While at my dentist”s office for a temporary filing for a tooth that had chipped, the dentist mentioned that the oral surgeon from his office wasn’t busy and he stepped in to chat for a minute.
Codes D0220 and D0140 were billed to my insurance company on that date of service.
I was also charged $87 for a consultation that was not billed to insurance. I asked why it wasn’t billed and was told that it wasn’t covered. I asked what procedure code and was given D9810.
What this proper?
(D0272) and (D0330) are the bwx's included in a pano or are they to be separated?
like a 3 or 4 unit bridge that needs to section off a part for extraction
i have the 2022 code book and am having trouble finding it. Is it in the new book? if so where so i can see how it is in there.
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.
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.
What codes can we use if exams and cleanings were done at separate appointment? Can we use z13.84 if exam was done only?
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, on what basis?
