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?

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?
Admin December 22, 2022 8:08 pm
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.
