D2950 should be bill the day it is rendered to avoid denial for inclusive reasons, and you should always bill for what you do on the DOS. D2950 is considered a stand alone code, and is commonly denied for inclusive procedure when coded with a crown code on the same DOS without a seat date. (more)

How to claim delta dental x ray? I just claimed New exam 0150 and FMX, they denied for FMX service.

Segment your X-rays based on those taken in the series. It is important o understand the CARC or RARC on the RA. Unfortunately, some benefit plans consider an FMX the came and a Pano, although they are for different purposes.

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 bil...

The D0140 should only have been sent by the GP, If it was certain the patient needed to RCT. The endo coding for it is not neccassary unless they had to diagnosis if the patient really needed a RCT. But the GP sending the D0140 again at the crown appointment is absolutely unnecessary. Most insurances (more)

Since the root canal was performed & resolved my issue & crown isn’t necessary, would there be a need for “build up” since there will be no crown? Is the only reason for the build up, to support a crown??

You are asking for the diagnosis code for a limited oral evaluation that is problem focused. When an exam is problem focused you must use the diagnosis that the patient presents with that has made the exam problem-focused (the dental emergency, trauma and/or infection).

Could reporting two restorations for the same tooth on different surfaces be considered unbundling? Anesthetic, rubber dams, review of radiographs, may be part of the “first” restoration
