Hi Guest! Great question. You can either use the “D” codes you listed on the medical claim (many medical insurers these days accept the “D” codes on the medical claim when they are medically necessary services). Or, if you choose to use 41899, you will want to list it separately for each of those services so you can indicate the appropriate fee for each, and then you can use the “ZZ” qualifier in the supplemental information area on the line item (the red shaded lines in field 24 that are typically left blank) and provide a short description of the service, for example: ZZ reattachment of tooth ZZ pulp test ZZ partial pulpotomy ZZ intraoral photos These two codes are great for a traumatic tooth fracture with acute pain: S02.5XXB – Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture G89.11 – Acute pain due to trauma However, instead of W21.07XA (Struck by softball, initial encounter), there is a different code for struck by baseball! W21.03XA – Struck by baseball, initial encounter Hope this helps!
