Limited dental exam in a medical setting
Austinida February 26, 2026 9:12 am
Yes, a D0140 can still be billed as long as the service meets the CDT definition of a D0140 and is performed by a qualified Provider.

Can you down code 4 pa's for a pano?
Anonymous November 21, 2025 11:59 pm
The answer is No. If the patient's insurance doesn't cover a pano, then charge it to the patient. If you were going to get $70 from ins., charge $70 to patient. That way you get your pano paid and patient doesn't rejects treatment because you change $300 for a pano image.

Cleft palate patient billing
Austinida September 8, 2025 7:22 am
You are able to bill CDT codes to medical insurance for cleft palate treatment, but CDT codes are not typically the preferred codes for billing medical insurance, especially for surgical procedures. CDT codes may be used for orthodontic treatment, prosthodontic appliances (like palatal obturators, etc), and adjunctive dental services like x-rays and evaluations, but for (more)

D7285 Biopsy - Delta is saying this code is NOT a separate payable service.
Austinida July 15, 2025 6:28 am

posted February 9, 2026 12:39 pm in reply to I have a dental provider that I code for who will code 2 restorations on the same tooth, same day, different surfaces, sometimes with the same material & sometimes not. I have requested that if they are of the same material, that she use 1 code with a larger # of surfaces. Are there any situations where it would be correct to code 2 restorations of the same material on 1 tooth?
