Today we began treatment on a patient to replace PFM crown with new one. After the old crown and decay was removed (75mins into the appointment) it became clear that the tooth was non restorable and was referred for extraction. What code can we bill for the time spent in the chair?
Patient presented with avulsed tooth #11. Dr. Arndt re-stabilized . I have to send to medical first. I need CPT code and DX code.
If you do a DO filling and a B filling on the same tooth and the DO does not touch the B can you bill for 2 seperate fillings the same day?
Has this code been replaced? Need to remove bone in the area of 22 and 29. What do I use?
I know there are snow med and snow dent - but the ada has their own list of condition codes right?
There are no restriction to bill these two codes together for the same DOS. However, you want to make sure you are include supporting documentation as to why you performed both procedures on the same day and the time involved. Make sure to include chart notes that document BOTH planning and scaling were performed, not just scaling. Indicate the patient has active perio disease and is in active perio treatment, include their perio condition Class I,II,III. Provide 1-3 teeth numbers for each quadrant planned and scaled, Document the remaining quadrants were not planned or scaled, that plaque, calculus and stains were removed for the remaining quads. Include perio chart, and FMX along with current BWXs if possible.
i have the 2022 code book and am having trouble finding it. Is it in the new book? if so where so i can see how it is in there.
Can you enter two separate restoration codes on the same day for the same tooth or is it correct to bill as a two surface restoration even though the restorations are not touching. For instance tooth #30 has occlusal but also separate buccal.
Provider extracted tooth and made an essix retainer with a fake tooth to cover gap
