We no longer take impressions or diagnostic casts. Is there a CDT code that would cover the intraloral scan with our Itero when we are preparing a treatment/case work up for an Invisalign consult? Can we still bill out D0470 or do we use D0393?

D0470

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?

Yes but in many cases the insurance will downgrade it to a D2393 and pay it as that code. I've recently dealt with this with a patient with Guardian insurance.

I am unsure, honestly, how to answer this. I am not familiar with anything beyond SNOMED and SNODENT. https://www.ada.org/resources/practice/dental-standards/snodent

There is no code specific to just reattaching the locator abutment. I would say that you should bill D6199 and include documentation reporting what was completed.

If you are meaning the diagnosis code it is Z01.20.

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.

If the fillings touch then it’s one two surface filling. If they don’t touch/aren’t connected then it’s two one surface fillings. Insurance will typically downgrade it and pay based on a two surface, but you have to always bill what you do.
