I was recently diagnosed with TMJ. The treatment is a very expensive orthotic. I”ve called my medical insurance (dental doesn”t cover TMJ but medical does) and they don”t understand the code. What I need is a medical code for “occlusal orthotic device” which apparently has a dental code of D7880. I”ve seen the D7880 on this forum but the recommended medical codes didn”t seem to match up to the definition so I figured I”d ask using the exact working from the dental code book.
