    the dentist placed a SSC on #A in January, 2013. Patient came back in September, 2013 due to uncomfortable with the size of SSC. Had to replace with a new SSC in different size. Do I charge out for a SSC? Or it could be just a re-cementation? Thank you

    I recently posted a question regarding a medical claim and this was part of the response: "For the D9248 you will need to list the drugs used and their appropriate HCPCS code." What are HCPCS? And where do I find more information on the correct HCPCS codes for D9248 (non IV Sedation)? Thank you for your time and response.

    If a person's dental and medical plan are by the same carrier and dental paid a certain amount toward three D7111's but would not cover the sedation (non-IV) portion D9248 how would I submit this as a medical claim? Which CPT codes are equivalent and can this even be done after dental already paid a portion. Do I only include the code that was not a covered benefit? Thank you

    Dental insurance denied benefits for non-IV sedation code D9248 used for the extraction of coronal remnants for 3 primary teeth code D7111. I am being told to bill the medical insurance? Is this ok to do? I remember a previous question I asked on this site and was told to submit a claim to medical if 7 or more extractions are being performed. Thank you for any explanation of what to do in this situation. Our office frequently uses code D9248 and it is almost never a covered dental benefit. Does that mean I should be submitting it to the person's medical insurance?
