What are some scenario's where you would report CPT?1answer72views I am new at dental billing. I am trying to figure out how to post primary and secondary insurance payments but me predecessor didn't always post it the same way so I can't figure it out that way.

Which adjustment am I supposed to use?1answer124views Our client owns a pediatric dental clinic. The code that my client uses on a maximum basis is 9248 in conjunction with 9230. The total UCR for these is 295 and 55 respectively. They are mostly used together. So this puts my client in a situation that if they are covered, then he gets paid less, because usually the parent would pay out of pocket for these, and the whole procedure would make sense. Now with such a low fee, it does not make sense considering the stress involved. Is there any alternative way/ code(s) to charge for non-intravenous sedation using inhalation of Nitrous Oxide.
