My dentist originally did a root canal/temporary crown for tooth #14. During the root canal they found a small crack in the tooth so only a temporary crown was placed. Fast forward 7 months, tooth was having throbbing constant pain again so extraction (07210) was required. Dental insurance denied the bone graft (07953) and I was told to submit to my medical insurance in case they might pay. My dentist doesn”t seem to know the codes to submit. Can you help? We will be doing an implant in 6 months hopefully which is also not a covered expense but at least I will have a solid tooth again.They are using 03010/06056/06060 for the implant, prefabricated abutment and porc fused base if that helps. They did tell me that I need a different crown code for it to be covered. Thank you in advance for your help.
