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?

I work in a multi provider office. If one of our dentists refers to another dentist inside our organization for treatment such as a crown or Root canal treatment and a consultation is necessary to determine if the dentist can perform the treatment, what code do I use? This would mean that the dentist that is possible agreeing to perform the treatment wishes to clinically exam the area before scheduling the treatment. Does a code exist for this type of exam?
