Hi guest! D7230 – removal of impacted tooth – partially bony The code listed above does not have a 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 Hope this helps, have a great day!
Hi ssrdds1, It is certainly not uncommon for a medical insurer to prefer the use 41899 in place of a “D” code on the medical claim. While many medical insurer will process D7240 (removal of impacted tooth – completely bony) since there is a not a direct CPT crosscode, not all will. Tooth numbers can be easily reported on the medical claim using the JP qualifier. 41899 is not necessarily a surgical CPT code, it actually stands for: Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures Hope this helps!
