I have a patient who's dental insurance denied the sinus augmentation due to it being medical in nature. I am trying to find the right diagnosis codes and medical codes for billing medical.. please help!

Hi Guest!
D7951 - sinus augmentation with bone or bone substitutes via a lateral open approach
D7952 - sinus augmentation via a vertical approach
can be crosscoded to:
21210 - graft, bone; nasal, maxillary, or malar areas
*use -52 modifier for reduced services when bone is not obtained from the patient
As for the ICD-10 (diagnosis) codes - it all depends on why the patient is receiving the services, in other words, what conditions/symptoms are these services treating?
For example, some common diagnosis codes used for sinus augmentation are:
K08.24 - Minimal atrophy of maxilla
K08.25 - Moderate atrophy of the maxilla
K08.26 - Severe atrophy of the maxilla
Hope this helps!
