Hi Guest! Based on what you described, here are some coding options for you 🙂 ICD-10 diagnosis coding options: M27.2 – Inflammatory conditions of jaws R68.84 – Jaw pain G89.21 – Chronic pain due to trauma Y04.0XXS – Assault by unarmed brawl or fight, sequela Procedure (CPT) coding options: As for the CPT code for extractions, there is actually not 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 code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures For the removal of hardware in the anterior mandible: 20680 – Removal of implant; deep (eg, buried wire, pin, screw, metal band, nail, rod or plate) For the implants: 21248 – Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); partial(3 or less) 21249 – Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more) Hope this helps!
