Hi Guest!
You got - there is not currently a CPT code to represent extractions, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Additionally, it can be helpful to use the "ZZ" qualifier and "JP" qualifier as well, in the supplemental information (the red shaded line above the white line that is usually left blank in field 24j of the claim form). The "ZZ" qualifier means "narrative description to follow", and you can enter the “JP” qualifier to indicate the tooth numbers for the extractions: for example, if you extracted teeth 1, 16, 17, and 32, it would look like this:
ZZ extractions JP1 16 17 32
There are no HCPCS codes (equipment codes) related to extractions that I am aware of, just the ICD (diagnosis) and CPT (procedure) codes.
Also, there is no standard modifier I am aware of to use for this either.
Hope this helps!
