Hi Guest! No problem. The diagnosis code(s) will depend on the reason the grafts are being performed. Here are some common ones we see used: K08.21 – Minimal atrophy of the mandible K08.22 – Moderate atrophy of the mandible K08.23 – Severe atrophy of the mandible K08.24 – Minimal atrophy of maxilla K08.25 – Moderate atrophy of the maxilla K08.26 – Severe atrophy of the maxilla If there are other conditions/issues present, let me know what they are and I am happy to offer you some coding options.
