    Filing a medical claim. CPT 21040 ICD-9 526.0, the doctor grafted the defect using code 21215. I am not sure what modifier to use, he also did this procedure under IV anesthesia 3 units of 00190.
    Admin May 5, 2011 9:08 am
    This procedure does not require a modifier as the 21040 (excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible, by enucleation and/or currettage) and 21215 (Graft, bone, mandible/including obtaining graft) are seperate procedures. You may append modifier 51 however it is not necessary in this instance.

    what is the best icd 9 code for an amalgam tattoo?
    Admin May 11, 2011 10:06 am
    The code is located by going to the alphabetic index and looking up the main term Discoloration, from there you will look up the subterm mouth and it give you ICD-9 code 528.9

    What Dental Code would you use for a follow-up visit for a patient that wears a sleep apnea appliance?
    Admin November 18, 2010 2:55 pm
    Since this is a problem focused exam and only a follow-up the appropriate code would be D0140. If this was the initial visit for the appliance the appropriate code would be D0160.
