Hi guest! D0220 – intraoral – periapical first radiographic image can be crosscoded to: 70300 Radiologic examination, teeth; single view D2332 – resin-based composite – three surfaces, anterior The code listed above does not have a direct crosscode 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 try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures As far as what ICD (diagnosis) code to use, this will depend on your patient! The diagnosis code the medical insurer is looking for will depend on why the patient presented to your office, and/or what condition the patient has. For example, if the xray is being done due to something like jaw pain, Temporomandibular disorder, or atrophy (there are tons more options of course, it all depends on the patient”s situation!), you may use one of the codes below for example: R68.84 – Jaw pain M26.61 – Adhesions and ankylosis of temporomandibular joint M26.62 – Arthralgia of temporomandibular joint M26.63 – Articular disc disorder of temporomandibular joint M26.69 – Other specified disorders of temporomandibular joint 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 the services are being done for a different reason, let me know what it was and I can see if I can supply you with some coding options. Hope this helps, have a great day!
