    D0140 billing multiple times

    General dentist coded D0140 for tooth pain. Recommended RCT and got RCT at endodontist through referral. Endodontist coded D0140 again. Went back to general dentist for filling of crown. Got billed with D0140 again. Does this look correct to keep billing D0140 even though was evaluted for problem focused first time by general dentist?

    What CDT code can I use to cover prescription FL?

    e.g. WDS plans will say
    Fluoride toothpaste following periodontal procedure 100%. I've spoken to the company and they suggested D0999. The EOB note read: description for this treatment has a valid CDT code and does not match the submitted procedure code. What code would be correct code for Clinpro 5000 dispensed for take home?

    We use digital scan rather than conventional PVS and I'd like to know if I can now charge for 3-D dental surface scan -direct when scanning for a porcelain/ceramic crown fabrication? I will be posting D2740 on delivery date of crown.

    Consultation Code D9810

    While at my dentist”s office for a temporary filing for a tooth that had chipped, the dentist mentioned that the oral surgeon from his office wasn’t busy and he stepped in to chat for a minute.

    Codes D0220 and D0140 were billed to my insurance company on that date of service.

    I was also charged $87 for a consultation that was not billed to insurance. I asked why it wasn’t billed and was told that it wasn’t covered. I asked what procedure code and was given D9810.

    What this proper?
