He performed multiple extractions under code D7140 (Extraction Erupted Tooth EXR). Is there an equivalent CPT code that can be billed to the pt's medical insurance first or should I simply bill dental? Thank you, -Shellea1answer35views I work in a pediatric dental office, and my doctor also treats some of our pt's in an OR setting at the hospital when they require multiple fillings coupled with dental anxiety etc. I understand that doctor has to provide the hospital with an ICD-9 diagnosis code so they can properly bill medical insurance and I bill dental (using the D-codes unless able to bill medical first). My question concerns the CPT book. Am I correct in understanding that this book will come into play if I bill medical insurance only NOT dental using the 1500 form? How does this work in office as oppose to in treatment being done in the hospital?
