    Is there a list of conditions that are from the ADA specifically
    I know there are snow med and snow dent - but the ada has their own list of condition codes right?

    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

    Can you enter two separate restoration Codes
    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.

    D2930 and D1510
    Can I bill D2930 and D1510 separately?

    Need more information. One is a crown code and one is a space maintainer. You always bill for what you do so I’m not sure what you are asking?
