Since this was a restorative material failure and it was composite and codes only exist for crown, inlay, onlay, and veneer the most appropriate code would be D2999 with a brief narrative to accompany the claim.

If the explanation of benefits states there is a patient portion you may bill the patient their cost, however if the benefit is paid at 100% you may not bill the patient. The best option is to appeal the claim stating 14-22 films were not taken at this visit is was a pano and bitewings (more)

If you had to re-cement or re-bond the space maintainer the code would be D1550. If you had to place a new space maintainer the code would be D1999 accompanied by a brief narrative as to why the space maintainer had to be replaced.

Coding guidelines state 14-22 periapical films including bitewings must be present however, some insurance companies are paying out an FMX when a pano and bitewings are taken. The best course of action is to appeal the claim stating 14-22 films were not present at this visit.
