    Can you use a D0145 then chg a D0120 and then a D0150 when they turn 3 yrs old
    We are seeing children under 3 for sometimes 3 appts and then charging out a D0150 . Wondering if we can chg a D0120 for a visit and then a D0150

    You would bill D0145 until the child turns 3 years of age, this code is specific to oral evaluations for under 3. Then bill D0150 at 3 years of age and D0120 every visit after.

    what is the difference between dental codes D4266 and D7956
    I was charged code D4266 by my dentist and my insurance changed it to code D7956 and they covered it. I had to pay out my pocket for code D4266. Should I ask for a refund for the D4266 charge?
    Danielle May 17, 2024 7:37 am
    If a tooth is extracted should D7956 Guided tissue regeneration be used, or is this only for when the tooth is already missing

    Can you please tell me if there's a ADA code for Removal Of Bone Espicule. Thank you.
    John June 11, 2024 12:23 pm
    Except that D7550 is removal of sloughed off bone due to infection and blood supply. The RVUs assigned to this for payment do not constitute removal of a simple bone spur.

    Lab fee for a porcelain crown
    Should a Dentist charge a separate lab fee for this type of crown
    medaudsolutions April 8, 2025 3:21 pm
    Agree with prior post, dentist do not usually charge a lab fee. BE careful charging more than the allowed amount on contracted plans and covered services; that is a compliance no no.
