Hi Guest!


D7953 - bone replacement graft for ridge preservation - per site
and
D7951 - sinus augmentation with bone or bone substitutes via a lateral open approach
for an upper tooth, can be cross coded to:
21210 - Graft, bone; nasal, maxillary or malar areas (includes obtaining graft)
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient


D9222 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – first 15 minutes
and
D9223 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – each additional 15 minutes
can be crosscoded to:

00170 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified
00172 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; repair of cleft palate
00174 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; excision of retropharyngeal tumor

The codes listed above do not have a direct crosscode we are aware of - many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures


Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

D8080- Comprehensive orthodontic treatment of the adolescent dentition

Ortho does not have a direct crosscode we are aware of, many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services - but since your insurer will not, or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Or, we have seen a few insurers accept this code for ortho:
21110 - Application of interdental fixation device for conditions other than fracture or dislocation, includes removal


Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

Absolutely:

For the bone grafts:

21210 - Graft, bone; nasal, maxillary or malar areas (includes obtaining graft)
21215 - Graft, bone; mandible (includes obtaining graft)
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient


For the implants:
21248 - Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); partial
21249 - 21249 - Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more)


Dentures do not have a direct crosscode - so you can either bill the "D" code (dental code) on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures


Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

You are correct on the crosscodes you already listed, and here are the remaining:

D0270 - bitewing - single radiographic image
can be cross coded to:
70300 - Radiologic examination, teeth; single view


D9230 - inhalation of nitrous oxide/analgesia, anxiolysis

D9230 does not have a crosscode, so since it sounds like your medical insurer is not accepting the "D" code on the medical claim (many medical insurers will process the "D" code on the medical claim when they are medically necessary procedures these days), you may consider:
01999 - Unlisted anesthesia procedure(s)
And heads up, some medical insurers will consider this included in the office visit (evaluation & management code) and will not pay it separately.


D2954 - prefabricated post and core in addition to crown

There are not direct crosscodes we are aware of for the procedures listed above, so you can either use the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure.



And since this is an accident case, you will want to provide ICD-10 diagnosis codes that describe the trauma to teeth, pain if present, and how the accident happened:

For the fractured teeth:
S02.5XXA - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture
S02.5XXB - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture

If there was acute pain:
G89.11 - Acute pain due to trauma

And as for the code to describe how the accident happened, if you'd like to reply with some details about the accident i'm happy to offer you some coding options. There are codes for vehicle accidents, sports accidents, fights, falls, etc etc etc.


Hope this helps!
