    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.

    Stitches removed
    I had my teeth removed in another country but did not have time to stay to have the stitches removed. I was charged $250 to have the stitches removed from the inferior maxillary. The code used was D7912, which is for complicated stitches bigger than ...

    D9999 is an unspecified Oral Surgery procedure, in this case even though the dentist was not the person to do the extraction, but he did do the removal of the stitches. I believe even if it’s not billed code d7912, it is the proper code for the procedure the patient had.

    D2930 and D1510
    Can I bill D2930 and D1510 separately?
    Admin January 25, 2023 6:36 am
    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?
