Hi Guest!

D7451 - removal of benign odontogenic cyst or tumor - lesion diameter greater than 1.25 cm
D7240 - Removal of impacted tooth - completely bony

Yes, it is common in medical billing for dental practices to bill an extraction as well as a removal of a cyst or tumor.


Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

Based on what you described, here are some ICD-10 (diagnosis) coding options:

One or both of these:
S02.5XXA - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture
S02.5XXB - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture

And this one if applicable:
G89.11 - Acute pain due to trauma

You will also want to provide a code that describes the accident (there are tons and are very specific!). If you'd like to provide me with details about the accident & how it happened, i'm happy to offer you some coding options.

As for the crowns, there are not direct crosscodes for this service, 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 use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

To determine the proper diagnosis code(s), it all depends on why the patient is receiving the services. Some common diagnosis codes used when bone grafts are being performed 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

However, if they are being performed due to a traumatic accident, a tumor removal, or a different reason - there are separate codes for that. If you'd like to provide additional details about the patient's condition/symptoms, I am happy to offer you some coding options.

Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

D7953 - bone replacement graft for ridge preservation - per site
Can be cross coded to:
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


D7210 - Extraction, erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth, and including elevation of mucoperiosteal flap if indicated

The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes we are aware of - 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 use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures


Hope this helps!

D7210 - Extraction, erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth, and including elevation of mucoperiosteal flap if indicated

As for the CPT code for extractions, there is actually not direct crosscode we are aware of, 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 use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures


For the ICD (diagnosis) code(s) - this will depend on your condition - in other words, why where the services performed?
For example, a common diagnostic code used for extraction is:
K01.1 - Impacted teeth

However, if the extractions were done for another reason (i.e. an accidental injury, tumor removal, etc) - if you'd like to provide some additional details on the condition that led to the extraction I am happy to offer some coding options.


Hope this helps!
