We are an Oral Surgery office and we receive many referrals from general dentist. We are now using D9310 for the initial consult. When a patient is referred for a 2nd time for a different procedure, can we use the D9310 again or should it be a limited eval D0140? Thank you!

What do I code for the 4-6 week tissue re-eval after SRP?

I completed 4 quads of SRP and 4 weeks later the patient came back in for the re-eval appointment. Do I use D4910 or D0171. I spot probed, scaled residual calculus, polished, flossed, and applied fluoride varnish. Also I placed Arestin on two pockets.

Hi there , If a claim got denied due to a patient is in active on date of service 7/5/17 . However, the office got a fax back on 7/4/17 showed that patient is active. Rep from insurance company said that because they didn't receive the information from the employer after the DOS. What is the best way to appeal the situation?
