You are only allowed to give a contracutal adjustment on insurance patients; if you are not charging the patient their co-pay or co-insurance amounts this is considered fraud. It is considered highly inappropriate!

You will need to submit the claim to medical on a CMS-1500 form and attach a copy of the dental EOB to the claim. You will use CPT code 41899 in place of the D7111. For the D9248 you will need to list the drugs used and their appropriate HCPCS code.
