Segment your X-rays based on those taken in the series. It is important o understand the CARC or RARC on the RA. Unfortunately, some benefit plans consider an FMX the came and a Pano, although they are for different purposes.

you need to know why this was denied- this could be because an D0330 was billed/paid within the last 5 yrs from this one

Full Mouth X Rays, are limited to one set every sixty (60) consecutive months. You will need to check if this patient had taken somewhere else within this period.

Rebill as a recall set (4BWS + 3Pas) and see if they'll pay for that.
Patient probably has hx of Pano or FMX

You are presuming. It should tell you why it’s denied. Many reasons. You cannot bill for something else. Only what you have done or it is considered fraud. You need to be very careful especially if you are an in network provider

This will just be denied as it is considered an fmx and they share frequency
