Hi Guest! 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) 21249 – Reconstruction of mandible or maxilla, endosteal implant (eg, blade, cylinder); complete (4 or more) 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 D6056 – prefabricated abutment – includes modification and placement D6068 – abutment supported retainer for porcelain/ceramic FPD D6245 – pontic – porcelain/ceramic There are not direct crosscodes for extractions, crowns and abutments, 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!
