Hi Guest!
Great question. Dental coding & billing is not our forte here like medical coding & billing is! On the medical side, the surgical guide is often considered included in the reimbursement for the implant when it is a covered expense, but if billed separately:
D6190 - radiographic/surgical implant index, by report
This code does not have a direct crosscode we are aware of, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Good Afternoon,
D6190, I believe this is the correct code for a dental implant surgical guide designed from 3D scan used during implant surgery for implant placement. Can this code be billed per implant or is it per arch or per surgery? How is this determined?
Thank you in advance,
Jennifer
