We did an off hours emergency procedure for a patient. Patient broke off large !! section of filling that lodged into gum and bone. Took an hour to remove and then we need to debride the now gum pocket and infection. This was festering for week so acute gingival infection caused by foreign body. We had to use laser to treat and then did sedative restoration where broken. UC has previously denied laser treatment in other cases. How should we code to get reimbursed?

A patient was seen and the doctor gave the Nitrous Oxide D9230 and also was able to give the a local anesthetic, but then the patient became uncooperative. The patient was then referred to a specialist. Can you bill for the D9230 alone where it was given and the procedure was attempted?

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?
