Hi Guest Sky!
D0140 - limited oral evaluation - problem focused
Can be cross coded to one of the following:
New patients:
99202 – 15-29 mins
99203 – 30-44 mins
99204 – 45-59 mins
99205 – 60-74 mins
Established patients:
99212 – 10-19 mins
99213 – 20-29 mins
99214 – 30-39 mins
99215 – 40-54 mins
D2335 - resin-based composite - four or more surfaces or involving incisal angle (anterior)
D2740 - crown - porcelain/ceramic
There are not direct crosscodes we are aware of for the services listed above, so if you have already found the insurer will not accept the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure it is being used to represent:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Hope this helps!
