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.

We no longer take impressions or diagnostic casts. Is there a CDT code that would cover the intraloral scan with our Itero when we are preparing a treatment/case work up for an Invisalign consult? Can we still bill out D0470 or do we use D0393?

D0470
