I read the previous posting related to this topic, but I'm looking for an answer regarding D1110. Our new hygienist has recently seen a patient who has had D4341 and many subsequent D4910's, and charted the visit as D1110. Her notes state that the patient has deep pockets and heavy generalized plaque and stain. I was taught once a perio patient always a perio patient. If this is not correct, please explain why and if the visit should be billed out as D1110. If not, then D4910? Thank you!1answer280views Hello, How do I code when a doctor sections a bridge.

Any suggestions?1answer31views I used the wrong diagnosis code in a dental claim to Medicare. The medicare rep told me that I have to correct it when the claim is processed. Are there any circumstances? What will happen now? Thank you.1answer92views A patient was scheduled for D4341, but the hygienist decided that the patient did not have enough deposits to be considered a true quads patient. It ended up taking two appointments to do the cleaning and perio charting and the hygienist still wants to bill out as a D1110. I have never seen a prophy take two appointments to complete before. My question to you is should this remain a D1110 or should it be billed out as D4341 twice for left & right Quads? If no for both, what should it be billed out as?
