A 13 year old boy broke off MIDFL piece of #8 just barely to the nerve playing wall ball. He said he slid into the wall trying to break his fall. Dr. was able to bond the broken piece of the tooth back to the existing tooth structure. We submitted to dental insurance first with miscellaneous code D9999 for the procedure. The claim was denied as they wanted more information. We just re-submitted with a letter and more description for the procedure. Would there be a more appropriate dental code for this procedure? In the even dental insurance denies again, we will submit to medical insurance so any advice on coding for this situation? Thank you. Eastland Dental Center
