Hi Guest!
The diagnosis code(s) will depend on the patient's condition/symptoms - so in other words, why is the patient receiving the services?
For example, you may consider:
Z01.20 - Encounter for dental examination and cleaning without abnormal findings Z01.21 - Encounter for dental examination and cleaning with abnormal findings K02.3 - Arrested dental caries K02.51 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface limited to enamel K02.52 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface penetrating into dentin K02.53 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface penetrating into pulp K02.61 - Dental caries on smooth surface limited to enamel K02.62 - Dental caries on smooth surface penetrating into dentin K02.63 - Dental caries on smooth surface penetrating into pulp K02.7 - Dental root caries K02.9 - Dental caries, unspecified K03.89 - Other specified diseases of hard tissues of teeth K04.1 - Necrosis of pulp K04.2 - Pulp degeneration K04.01 - Reversible pulpitis K04.02 - Irreversible pulpitis K05.211 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, slight K05.212 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, moderate K05.213 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe K05.219 - Aggressive periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity K05.221 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, slight K05.222 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, moderate K05.223 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, severe K05.229 - Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity K05.311 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, slight K05.312 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, moderate K05.313 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, severe K05.319 - Chronic periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity K05.321 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, slight K05.322 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, moderate K05.323 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, severe K05.329 - Chronic periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity K05.10 - Chronic gingivitis, plaque induced K05.11 - Chronic gingivitis, non-plaque induced K08.89 - Other specified disorders of teeth and supporting structures
If you have additional details about the patient's condition, i'm happy to offer you some coding options.
Hope this helps!

Usually, the presenting problem(s) are minimal. Typically, 5 minutes are spent performing or supervising these services.
99212 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, which requires at least 2 of these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are self limited or minor. Typically, 10 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family.
D1110 - prophylaxis - adult
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), or you can try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Hope this helps! What will be the appropriate diagnostic code for D1110? Thank you!

Hi Guest!
D0330 - panoramic radiographic image Can be cross coded to: 70355 - Orthopantogram (eg, panoramic x-ray)
D9110 - palliative (emergency) treatment of dental pain - minor procedure
First, you will select an evaluation and management (E&M)/office visit code - such as 99201 or 99202 for a new patient, or 99211 or 99212 for an established patient)
Then, to indicate it was an emergency service, you can choose one of the following:
99050 — Services provided in the office at time other than regularly scheduled office hours, or days when the office is closed (e.g., holidays Saturday or Sunday), in addition to basic service
Or, if it was during regular office hours but disrupted the schedule:
99058 - Service(s) provided on an emergency basis in the office, which disrupts other scheduled office services, in addition to basic service
D5821 - interim partial denture (mandibular)
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), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Hope this helps!

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)
