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.

There are no restriction to bill these two codes together for the same DOS. However, you want to make sure you are include supporting documentation as to why you performed both procedures on the same day and the time involved. Make sure to include chart notes that document BOTH planning and scaling were performed, not just scaling. Indicate the patient has active perio disease and is in active perio treatment, include their perio condition Class I,II,III. Provide 1-3 teeth numbers for each quadrant planned and scaled, Document the remaining quadrants were not planned or scaled, that plaque, calculus and stains were removed for the remaining quads. Include perio chart, and FMX along with current BWXs if possible.
Or is this procedure inclusive to the surgical extraction?
Has this code been replaced? Need to remove bone in the area of 22 and 29. What do I use?

What is the CDT code for uprighting a tooth specifically a 2nd molar? I believe there are 2 codes associated.
