Is D7300 considered oral surgery or an implant?
Would this be something we could bill to insurances and Medicaid patients IF we tell them upfront that they will need to pay for that part of the service? Or, is there an obscure code that we can utilize to collect on behalf of waste fees?
Pt seen to stablish care. Procedure code used D0150 the next day patient seen for a limited examination D0140 and extracted a tooth. I am curious if this will be considered over charging on exams, as pt just had a comprehensive exam the day before.
how many fillings is standard for dentists to do in one sitting?
I was charged code D4266 by my dentist and my insurance changed it to code D7956 and they covered it. I had to pay out my pocket for code D4266. Should I ask for a refund for the D4266 charge?
