I went to Aspen Dental to have a wisdom tooth removed. They made an appointment for the oral surgeon the following month at same office. The oral surgeon pulled the tooth. I was billed for a D9310 code. Which I believe is inaccurate.

9310 is the correct code. Consultations (D9310) and exams often share the same frequency, by any chance was the D9310 denied due to frequency for exams had been met?

No, the code clearly states it is by tooth surface. Whether or not the decay touches has no bearing on the code.

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.
