What HCPCS code would you bill for a Nasal Alveolar Molding Device or obturator? The DDS is billing the medical procedure as cpt 21080 and ICD-9 749.21. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Private answer Your CDT or HCPCS code range would be D5931-D5932 or D5936. You should note CPT code 21080 is only to be used when the device is designed and prepared by the dentist/physician not an outside lab. If an outside lab is creating the prosthesis and you are delivering and adjusting the prosthesis the appropriate code CPT code is 99002. Marked as spam
