Unfortunately, I can't exactly explain why a payor would request a tooth surface, but it may be a requirement of the plan for the code. This is probably given to be sure that duplicates are not billed. Also, they are typically subject to a 5–10-year limitation. There can be quite a few limitations to these codes...including waiting periods, missing tooth clauses, etc.
