Hi! Trying to file an insurance claim and need medical codes for the following dental codes if anyone can help: D2799 D6051 D6010 D2429 D6190 Thank you so much in advance for any information that you can share!! -Signed a tired dental patient
Hi Guest! D6010 – surgical placement of implant body: endosteal implant can be crosscoded to: 21248 – Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); partial(3or less) 21249 – Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more) D2799 – provisional crown– further treatment or completion of diagnosis necessary prior to final impression D6051 – interim abutment D6190 – radiographic/surgical implant index, by report The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes 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 I cannot seem to locate D2429 – what is the description you have for that? Hope this helps, have a great day!
Hi Guest! D0330 – panoramic radiographic image Can be cross coded to: 70355 – Orthopantogram (eg, panoramic x-ray) D9110 – palliative (emergency) treatment of dental pain – minor procedure First, you will select an evaluation and management (E&M)/office visit code – such as 99201 or 99202 for a new patient, or 99211 or 99212 for an established patient) Then, to indicate it was an emergency service, you can choose one of the following: 99050 — Services provided in the office at time other than regularly scheduled office hours, or days when the office is closed (e.g., holidays Saturday or Sunday), in addition to basic service Or, if it was during regular office hours but disrupted the schedule: 99058 – Service(s) provided on an emergency basis in the office, which disrupts other scheduled office services, in addition to basic service D5821 – interim partial denture (mandibular) 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 use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures Hope this helps!
Hello, I was hoping you can translate the following dental code to medical codes. Thanks you so much. D0383 – CT Image, both jaws D0140 – Limited oral evaluation D2335 – Resin-4 + w/incis angle-anterior Thx
Hi Guest! D0383 – Cone beam CT image capture with field of view of both jaws, with or without cranium There is actually not currently a specific CPT code for Cone Beam CT (CBCT)……the closest CPT code is: “70486 – Computed tomography, maxillofacial area; without contrast material”. Some medical payers state in their policy that 70486 should be used for CBCT, for example, United Healthcare & Evicore state this in their radiology medical coverage policy. However, some medical insurers may perfer a different code when used for CBCT because the description of 70486 does not specify “cone beam”. So, “76497 – Unlisted computed tomography procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional)” is an option to use (keep in mind you”ll need to provide a narrative description for unlisted codes) We also see practices billing out for “76102 – Radiologic examination, complex motion (ie, hypercycloidal) body section (eg, mastoid polytomography), other than with urography; bilateral” D0140 – limited oral evaluation – problem focused Can be crosscoded to: 99201 – Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient”s and/or family”s needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are self limited or minor. Typically, 10 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family. or 99211 – Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, that may not require the presence of a physician or other qualified health care professional. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are minimal. Typically, 5 minutes are spent performing or supervising these services. D2335 – resin-based composite – four or more surfaces or involving incisal angle (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 that do not have a specific CPT code), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures Hope this helps!
Hi, Can you tell me if the following dental codes have an equivalent medical code? D7286 D9222 D9223 Thank you!!
Hi Guest! D7286 – incisional biopsy of oral tissue-soft Here are some CPT cross coding options for you: 40490 – Biopsy lip 40808 – Biopsy, vestibule of mouth 41108 – Biopsy of floor of mouth 41110 – Biopsy of tongue, anterior two-thirds 41105 – Biopsy of tongue, posterior one-third 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 Hope this helps!
Hi Guest! D1999 – Unspecified preventive procedure, by report can be crosscoded to: 99429 – Unlisted preventive medicine service D7960 – frenulectomy can be crosscoded to: 41115 – Excision of lingual frenum (frenectomy) 40819 – Excision of frenum, labial or buccal (frenumectomy, frenulectomy, frenectomy) D0350 – 2D oral/facial photographic image obtained intra-orally or extra-orally D9230 – Nitrous The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes 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 use the CPT codes below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures 99070 – Supplies and materials (except spectacles), provided by the physician or other qualified health care professional over and above those usually included with the office visit or other services rendered (list drugs, trays, supplies, or materials provided) Hope this helps!
Hi! I desperately need help transferring a few dental codes to medical codes. Neither the dentist, periodontist, or insurance is willing to help me and I”ve had unbelievable dental costs due to an accident which left me in a coma and did significant dental damage. The codes I currently need are: D6057 D6059 Thank you!
Hi Guest! D6057 – custom fabricated abutment – includes placement D6059 – abutment supported porcelain fused to metal crown (high noble metal) For both of these services listed above, there is actually not direct crosscodes we are aware of, so if the medical insurers cannot accept the “D” code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process “D” codes when they are medically necessary services), you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures Since it is a trauma case, you will want to be sure the ICD-10 (diagnosis) codes reflect that! If you can provide me some details about the accident (how it happened and what damage it caused), i am happy to offer you some coding options. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for your response! I feel bad but I have actually compiled my whole list of codes together to see if I could get help with a few more. D 2999 D 6010 D 6057 D 6058 D 6104 D 7210 D 7921 D 7950 I slipped off a dock and hit a boat under my jaw before falling into the water unconscious. 2 of my teeth came out during the accident and 3 others were so damaged they needed to be removed (so 5 total gone from the accident). Please let me know if there are any other specifics you would need. I really appreciate your help.
Hi Guest! Absolutely! D6010 – surgical placement of implant body: endosteal implant can be cross coded to: 21248 – Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); partial(3 or less) D6104 – bone graft at time of implant placement can be crosscoded to: 21210 – graft, bone; nasal, maxillary, or malar areas 21215 – graft, mandibular **use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient D7921 – collection and application of autologous blood concentrate product can be crosscoded to: 0232T – Injection(s), platelet rich plasma, any site, including image guidance, harvesting and preparation when performed D2999 – unspecified restorative procedure, by report D6057 – custom fabricated abutment – includes placement D7210 – Extraction, erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth, and including elevation of mucoperiosteal flap if indicated D7950 – osseous, osteoperiosteal, or cartilage graft of the mandible or maxilla – autogenous or nonautogenous, by report The codes listed above do 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 use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 – Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures **special note – since D2999 stands for an “unspecified” restorative procedure, you will likely need to ask your provider for a short description of what service/procedure this code is being used to represent As far as the diagnosis code(s) – based on what you described, here are some coding options (you may need to consult with your provider to select the most appropriate loss of teeth and fracture codes): For the trauma to your teeth: One of these: K08.411 – Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class I K08.412 – Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class II K08.413 – Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class III K08.414 – Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class IV K08.419 – Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class One or both of these: S02.5XXA – Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture S02.5XXB – Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture And this one if applicable: G89.11 – Acute pain due to trauma To describe the accident, both of these: W01.198A – Fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against other object, initial encounter W17.4XXA – Fall from dock, initial encounter Hope this helps!
