If a dentist sees a red or white lesion during a 150 exam and wants to re evaluate the pt in 2 weeks, is she/he allowed to use D0170 code? Will the insurance deny it?
Thank you so much!
I completed 4 quads of SRP and 4 weeks later the patient came back in for the re-eval appointment. Do I use D4910 or D0171. I spot probed, scaled residual calculus, polished, flossed, and applied fluoride varnish. Also I placed Arestin on two pockets.
PT CAME IN THIS MORNING HAD TOOTH #8 EXTRACTED WITH D9222 AND D9223
PT RETURNED THIS AFTERNOON AND HAD TOOTH #9 EXTRACTED WITH D9222 AND D9223
CAN I SUBMIT 2 SEPARATE CLAIMS TO INSURANCE WITH EACH HAVING D9222 LISTED?
We did a sinus lift on the UR and UL. Can I only bill the 7951 once or can I bill it for the UR and again for the UL?

We are FQHC. One of our patient's needed clearance for an organ transplant. They originally saw a medical provider. That provider sent a request to our dentist asking for them to evaluate the patient to be cleared for the transplant. The patient made an appointment on following date of service. Our dentist evaluated and cleared patient. What is the best code for this? We are thinking D9310.
Which is the most appropriate code when using Gluma as a desensitizer, D9910 or D9911? Is Gluma considered a resign or only a desensitizer?
