Cross Coding Osseous Surgery

[niermanpm]

Hi Karen! D4261 – osseous surgery (including elevation of a full thickness flap and closure) – one to three contiguous teeth or tooth bounded spaces per quadrant The code listed above 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 for the diagnosis code to use, that will depend on the patient”s condition and why they are getting the treatment! Here”s a few examples that may be used: K05.32 – Chronic periodontitis, generalized K05.31 – Chronic periodontitis, localized K05.30 – Chronic periodontitis, unspecified K05.4 – Periodontosis K05.5 – Other periodontal diseases K05.6 – Periodontal disease, unspecified K06.0 – Gingival recession K05.10 – Chronic gingivitis, plaque induced K05.11 – Chronic gingivitis, non-plaque induced K05.20 – Aggressive periodontitis, unspecified K05.21 – Aggressive periodontitis, localized K05.22 – Aggressive periodontitis, generalized Hope this helps, have a great day!
