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?
