Hi Guest!


D1999 - Unspecified preventive procedure, by report
can be crosscoded to:
99429 - Unlisted preventive medicine service


D7960 - frenulectomy
can be crosscoded to:
41115 - Excision of lingual frenum (frenectomy)
40819 - Excision of frenum, labial or buccal (frenumectomy, frenulectomy, frenectomy)


D0350 - 2D oral/facial photographic image obtained intra-orally or extra-orally
D9230 - Nitrous

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 codes below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
99070 - Supplies and materials (except spectacles), provided by the physician or other qualified health care professional over and above those usually included with the office visit or other services rendered (list drugs, trays, supplies, or materials provided)


Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!


D0383 - Cone beam CT image capture with field of view of both jaws, with or without cranium

There is actually not currently a specific CPT code for Cone Beam CT (CBCT)……the closest CPT code is: “70486 - Computed tomography, maxillofacial area; without contrast material”. Some medical payers state in their policy that 70486 should be used for CBCT, for example, United Healthcare & Evicore state this in their radiology medical coverage policy. However, some medical insurers may perfer a different code when used for CBCT because the description of 70486 does not specify “cone beam”.

So, “76497 - Unlisted computed tomography procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional)” is an option to use (keep in mind you'll need to provide a narrative description for unlisted codes)
We also see practices billing out for "76102 - Radiologic examination, complex motion (ie, hypercycloidal) body section (eg, mastoid polytomography), other than with urography; bilateral"



D0140 - limited oral evaluation - problem focused
Can be crosscoded to:

Usually, the presenting problem(s) are self limited or minor. Typically, 10 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family.
or
99211 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, that may not require the presence of a physician or other qualified health care professional. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are minimal. Typically, 5 minutes are spent performing or supervising these services.


D2335 - resin-based composite - four or more surfaces or involving incisal angle (anterior)

The code listed above does not have a 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 that do not have a specific CPT code), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
