    Does Medicaid pay for dentures
    Staylor2964 January 21, 2022 2:27 pm
    Virginia will pay for dentures for adults. It does have to be pre-authorized. Most of the time they are approved.

    Is D7951 a quadrant code?
    We did a sinus lift on the UR and UL. Can I only bill the 7951 once or can I bill it for the UR and again for the UL?
    asw0929 May 15, 2022 8:11 pm
    This can be reported twice if both upper quadrants are augmented. I would recommend sending documentation to support both the UL and UR quadrants so there is no question as to overbilling the procedure. See Coding Companion 2022, Clinical Coding Scenario #3 on page 215 for verification. This procedure is performed to increase the alveolar (more)

    Patient comes in for pain. Has tooth extracted. Can a D9110 or D01240 be billed with the D7140?
    Admin May 4, 2019 2:08 pm
    CDT code D9110 is typically inclusive of the extraction and therefor will be rejected when submitted at the same time as an extraction. As for the other code D01240 this code does not exist. If the code you were intending is D0120 that would be an inappropriate code as well, since the patient is coming (more)

    How do I submit code D7270 to Medical
    I've never submitted to medical and don't have claim forms
    asw0929 April 14, 2022 2:42 pm
    In order to bill medical insurance, you would need to contract/use an online company to bill medically or purchase a stack of CMS-1500 forms and complete the forms in your office to send to the insurance company. You would also need to be sure that you have a CPT code book and ICD-10-CM code book (more)

    why is the insurance company requiring surfaces for a D6240
    asw0929 May 18, 2022 11:37 am
    Unfortunately, I can't exactly explain why a payor would request a tooth surface, but it may be a requirement of the plan for the code. This is probably given to be sure that duplicates are not billed. Also, they are typically subject to a 5–10-year limitation. There can be quite a few limitations to these (more)

    Our practice does a lot of full mouth fluoride varnish applications for high risk patients every 3 months. We have been trying to get this pre-authorized by our state Medicaid. We have to prove it is medically necessary. Their description of medical necessity is vague. Can you give us some examples you have found that works in this case. Most of these patients are very young and we cannot get x-rays on them.

    The following article will aide you in determining how to assign medical necessity for patients you believe to be high risk. Please click on the link or copy and paste into your browser: https://www.aapd.org/globalassets/media/policies_guidelines/bp_cariesriskassessment.pdf

    CAN D9222 BE BILLED TWICE ON ONE DATE OF SERVICE?
    PT CAME IN THIS MORNING HAD TOOTH #8 EXTRACTED WITH D9222 AND D9223 PT RETURNED THIS AFTERNOON AND HAD TOOTH #9 EXTRACTED WITH D9222 AND D9223 CAN I SUBMIT 2 SEPARATE CLAIMS TO INSURANCE WITH EACH HAVING D9222 LISTED?
    asw0929 May 16, 2022 7:38 pm
    It is very likely that the insurance is going to deny the second D9222 and D9223. I would submit medical records indicating the need for general anesthesia the second time (twice in a day). This is a rare occurrence, and it's likely that it will be denied as you already had the patient sedated once (more)
