Hi guest! D4240 = gingival flap procedure, including root planing – four or more contiguous teeth or tooth bounded spaces per quadrant The code listed above does not have 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, that will depend on the reason the gingival flap procedure is being performed on that patient! For example, here”s from ICD-10 diagnosis coding options: K05.00 Acute gingivitis, plaque induced K05.01 Acute gingivitis, non-plaque induced K05.10 Chronic gingivitis, plaque induced K05.11 Chronic gingivitis, non-plaque induced K04.01 Reversible pulpitis K04.02 Irreversible pulpitis K05.211 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, slight K05.212 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, moderate K05.213 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe K05.219 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity K05.221 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, slight K05.222 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, moderate K05.223 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, severe K05.229 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity K05.311 Chronic periodontitis, localized, slight K05.312 Chronic periodontitis, localized, moderate K05.313 Chronic periodontitis, localized, severe K05.319 Chronic periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity K05.321 Chronic periodontitis, generalized, slight K05.322 Chronic periodontitis, generalized, moderate K05.323 Chronic periodontitis, generalized, severe K05.329 Chronic periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity K06.0 Gingival recession Hope this helps!
