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?

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.
