I would not send a narrative for this procedure, but the very detailed clinical documentation stating the necessity of the procedure. Unless the patient has implant coverage with their insurance carrier, in most cases the procedure is likely to be denied. Therefore, indicating the need to send as much documentation as possible IF the procedure (more)

Can I bill D2930 and D1510 separately?

What is the appropriate code for a patient who presents for an appointment but had to be rescheduled since they forgot to take their premedication antibiotics? No treatment was performed.t performed office visit

CDT 9987 reports a cancelled appointment. The CDT description does not indicate whether or not the procedure has been cancelled by the provider or patient. If you are not using the code to charge a fee for cancelled appointments, then it would be appropriate. Of course the notes should show why the appointment was cancelled. (more)

Pt presents for cleaning, not due for periodic exam or xrays, but has a question about a tooth so a PA is taken and Dr evaluates. I would typically bill out a periodic with the pa and prophy however it was brought up that D0140 may be applicable.

You need to check your insurance contract and fee schedule limitations for that particular insurance. Typically, insurance will not cover a D0140 and D1110 the same day but it depends on the contract. Hope this helps!!

D4212 is to be used when you need access for a restorative procedure such as crown or filling. This is not to be used to remove large pockets in gum tissue. Whitout reviewing the providers notes of treatment performed we may suggest that If RPS was performed a more appropriate code for removal of large (more)
