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?
