If the dentist sees that decay is further along than originally diagnosed and chooses D2799 then months later decides patient needs D2740 am I able to transfer payment from D2799 to D2740?

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?

The best code would be D7530 (removal of foreign body).
