A patient was scheduled for treatment with a general dentist but a referral was given instead to a pediatric dentist for sedation. OHC and diet were discussed during the office visit, but the notes do not indicate any procedures being completed or attempted. Would this be a correct usage of D9310? Or should another code be used instead? Thank you.

We are having issues with Delta dental accepting our Occeous surgery services. They don't like the D4260 because we use the FDA approved Periolase. We have tried D4999 by report and sending in the SRP, occlusal adjustment, follow up prophy and perio maint. They are not liking that either and are requesting that we adjust all but the SRP. Any suggestions?

My dentist does quite a few precision fit partial dentures( crowning adjacent teeth with precision attachments that will lock into the attachments on the partial denture). Obviously the lab charges quite a bit more than fabricating a traditional partial, what code do you suggest we use for this type of service?
