If a child was initially seen (first visit ever) at our office and is 1 year old and we code out D0145 (Oral Evaluation, pt under 3 yrs), when they return in 6 months for a recall visit- would it be more appropriate to charge out the D0145 again or the D0120 (Periodic Oral Evaluation)? Is the D0145 code only for patient's under 3 at their initial visit? More specifically- If a child is under age 3 and started seeing us at age 1 year - do we keep billing out the D0145 until they are 3 at every 6 month recall? Thank you for your time.
