If a dentist sees a red or white lesion during a 150 exam and wants to re evaluate the pt in 2 weeks, is she/he allowed to use D0170 code? Will the insurance deny it?
Thank you so much!
Patient presents for extraction of tooth #32. Dentist is able to remove coronal portion, but unable to remove roots. Also, surgical handpiece used to remove bone. Patient is coming back in 3-4 weeks to try and get roots removed. How should we code this visit?
D4260 may be downcoded to D4261 due to periodontal charting . Isf full quad of surgery is done, is the patient responsible for the difference up to the full quad fee of the limited quad fee?
CAN I SENT A DENIAL TO THE MEDICAL CARRIER FOR PAYMENT WHEN A DENTAL CARRIER DENIED FOR FREQUENCY (PANO OR BIWINGS).
