    what is the difference between dental codes D4266 and D7956
    I was charged code D4266 by my dentist and my insurance changed it to code D7956 and they covered it. I had to pay out my pocket for code D4266. Should I ask for a refund for the D4266 charge?

    If a tooth is extracted should D7956 Guided tissue regeneration be used, or is this only for when the tooth is already missing

    CDT 9987 reports a cancelled appointment. The CDT description does not indicate whether or not the procedure has been cancelled by the provider or patient. If you are not using the code to charge a fee for cancelled appointments, then it would be appropriate. Of course the notes should show why the appointment was cancelled. (more)

    Can anyone a CDT code for “Facility Fee” reimbursement under ADA compliance standards?
    Due to limitations within the CDT code structure, the concept of a Professional and technical fee has not gotten the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, anesthesia reimbursements and cases for medically necessary Dentistry, not OMF, are not payable...

    Can you use a D0145 then chg a D0120 and then a D0150 when they turn 3 yrs old
    We are seeing children under 3 for sometimes 3 appts and then charging out a D0150 . Wondering if we can chg a D0120 for a visit and then a D0150

    You would bill D0145 until the child turns 3 years of age, this code is specific to oral evaluations for under 3. Then bill D0150 at 3 years of age and D0120 every visit after.
