DEEP SEDATION/GENERAL ANESTHESIA – FIRST 15 MINUTES / DEEP SEDATION/GENERAL ANESTHESIA – EACH ADDITI
Hi Guest! D3310 – Endodontic therapy anterior tooth (excluding final restoration) D3330 – Endodontic therapy, molar tooth (excluding final restoration) D2950 – core buildup, including any pins when required D2954 – prefabricated post and core in addition to crown The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes we are aware of – 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 (you may also consider using the JP qualifier to indicate the tooth numbers and the ZZ qualifier to provider a description when using 41899) Hope this helps!
Thank you! What about for Root Canal D3310 , 3330, prefab post and core and build ups D2950 and D2954?
Hi Kay@ The Foleck Center! D9222 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – first 15 minutes and D9223 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – each additional 15 minutes can be crosscoded to: 00170 – Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified As for a modifier for crowns, there isn”t a standard modifier you”ll need to use, however you may use the JP qualifier to indicate the tooth numbers. There is not a direct crosscode for crowns in the medical procedure coding (CPT) system, 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 codes below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures If you use 41899, you can use the ZZ qualifier to provide a short description of what procedure the code is being used to represent. The JP qualifier to indicates the tooth numbers. So for your case teeth 2-11,13,20,22-29, it would read: JP2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 20 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 The ZZ qualifier indicates you will be providing a short description, like this: ZZmaxillary and mandibular crowns An example of how to use the ZZ and JP qualifiers on the medical claim can be found int he NUCC”s claim form manual on page 47 & 48, here is a link to it: Hope this helps!
