Hi guest!

The diagnosis code(s) will depend on the patient & their condition - basically - why is the patient receiving these services? For example, if the patient has atrophy, some coding options are:

K08.21 - Minimal atrophy of the mandible
K08.22 - Moderate atrophy of the mandible
K08.23 - Severe atrophy of the mandible
K08.24 - Minimal atrophy of maxilla
K08.25 - Moderate atrophy of the maxilla
K08.26 - Severe atrophy of the maxilla

Or, if there is a malocclusion, some options are:

M26.211 - Malocclusion, Angle's class I
M26.212 - Malocclusion, Angle's class II
M26.213 - Malocclusion, Angle's class III
M26.219 - Malocclusion, Angle's class, unspecified
M26.220 - Open anterior occlusal relationship
M26.221 - Open posterior occlusal relationship
M26.23 - Excessive horizontal overlap
M26.20 - Unspecified anomaly of dental arch relationship
M26.19 - Other specified anomalies of jaw-cranial base relationship

Or crowding or excessive spacing:
M26.31 - Crowding of fully erupted teeth
M26.32 - Excessive spacing of fully erupted teeth

If these options above don't fit the bill for your patient, if you'd like to provide some additional detail on their condition, I would be happy to offer some coding options.

Hope this helps!

Can anyone help with the diagnosis code, not the cpt code..
for D7210 surgical extractions, and D7240 for orthodontic purpose?
and D7953 bonegrafts?

Thanks!
