Hi Guest!

For the conscious sedation, as long as the patient is over 5 years of age and the same provider who performed the extractions administered the sedation, here are the crosscodes below (if the patient was under 5 or if sedation performed by a different provider, let me know and I am happy to provide you those codes):

D9239 - Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/anesthesia – first 15 minutes
D9243 - Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/analgesia – each 15 minute increment

can be crosscoded to:

99152
Moderate sedation services provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient age 5 years or older

and

99153
Moderate sedation services provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status; each additional 15 minutes intraservice time (list separately in addition to code for primary service)


Hope this helps!
