We use code D9230 for Nitrous Inhalation, can we also use D9248 for Halcion administration or would it be better to use D9920 Behavior modification w/ a narrative for a patient that has high anxiety before and during a dental procedure?

D9230 is an appropriate code for Nitrous Oxide Inhalation, and D9248 would be the most appropriate for Halcion.
