Ok great. Then yes if they are not submitting their own medical claim to the patient's insurance, you will want to put that provider's NPI into box 24j as the "rendering provider" on the medical claim form.

Hope this helps!

Hi guest!

When you said "do we need the NPI if its an outside source?" - Do you mean you have an outside health professional coming into your practice to administer the IV sedation?

As for sedation coding, here are some CPT coding options below:

Here are some coding options for the above:
00170 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified
00172 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; repair of cleft palate
00174 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; excision of retropharyngeal tumor
00176 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; radical surgery
01999 - Unlisted anesthesia procedure(s)

• 99143 - Moderate sedation services (other than those services described by codes 00100-01999) provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient's level of consciousness and physiological status; younger than 5 years of age, first 30 minutes intra-service time

• 99144 - Moderate sedation services (other than those services described by codes 00100-01999) provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient's level of consciousness and physiological status; age 5 years or older, first 30 minutes intra-service time

• 99145 - Moderate sedation services (other than those services described by codes 00100-01999) provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient's level of consciousness and physiological status; each additional 15 minutes intra-service time (List separately in addition to code for primary service)

• 99148 - Moderate sedation services (other than those services described by codes 00100-01999), provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; younger than 5 years of age, first 30 minutes intra-service time

• 99149 - Moderate sedation services (other than those services described by codes 00100-01999), provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; age 5 years or older, first 30 minutes intra-service time

• 99150 - Moderate sedation services (other than those services described by codes 00100-01999), provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; each additional 15 minutes intra-service time (List separately in addition to code for primary service)

Hope this helps!

Hi guest!

D7240 - removal of impacted tooth - completely bony

There is not a specific CPT code we are aware of, so you can either use the appropriate "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process the "D" codes when the service are medically necessary and there is not a direct crosscode available), or you can try the CPT code below, be sure to include a narrative report since it is a non-specific code:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps, have a great day!
