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.

Could reporting two restorations for the same tooth on different surfaces be considered unbundling? Anesthetic, rubber dams, review of radiographs, may be part of the “first” restoration

How to claim delta dental x ray? I just claimed New exam 0150 and FMX, they denied for FMX service.

Segment your X-rays based on those taken in the series. It is important o understand the CARC or RARC on the RA. Unfortunately, some benefit plans consider an FMX the came and a Pano, although they are for different purposes.

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.
