Hi Guest!
Great question. The coding will actually depend on the medical insurance company!
Some medical insurers will accept the "D" codes, however some will require you to use a CPT code instead.
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
And sorry, could you clarify your question "when we submit a claim for physican component, can we use any sedattion codes?"

Good morning!!!
I do have question about using D9222 & D9223. We are Surgical facility. The physian come to our facility doing the surgery, we have anesthesiologist too, so the physician/surgeon is not the one who administered the anesthesia. So as a facility, can we use the D9222 for first 15 minutes and the D9223 after 15 mins increments? Also, when we submit a claim for physican component, can we use any sedattion codes?
Please advise, need help. I really appreciate your help. much appreciated
