Hi Guest!

D7411 - excision of benign lesion greater than 1.25 cm
can be crosscoded to one of the following:
40810 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth without repair
40812 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth with simple repair
41116 - Excision, lesion of floor of mouth
41825 - Excision of lesion or tumor dentoalveolar structures; without repair
41826 - Excision of lesion or tumor dentoalveolar structures; with simple repair
42104 - Excision, lesion of palate, uvula; without closure
42106 - Excision, lesion of palate, uvula; with primary closure
21030 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of maxilla or zygoma by enucleation and curettage
21040 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible, by enucleation and curettage

D4266 - guided tissue regeneration - resorbable barrier, per site
can be cross coded to:
41870 - Periodontal mucosal grafting

D4263 - bone replacement graft - first site in quadrant
can be crosscoded to:
21210 - graft, bone; nasal, maxillary, or malar areas
21215 - graft, mandibular
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient

D3310 - endodontic therapy anterior tooth (excluding final restoration)

The code listed above does not have a direct crosscode we are aware of - many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services, or if they won't, you can try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

D8660 - pre-orthodontic treatment examination to monitor growth and development
can be crosscoded to:

New patients:

99201 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are self limited or minor. Typically, 10 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family.

99202 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires these 3 key components: An expanded problem focused history; An expanded problem focused examination; Straightforward medical decision making.

Usually, the presenting problem(s) are of low to moderate severity. Typically, 20 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family

Established Patients:

99211 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, that may not require the presence of a physician or other qualified health care professional. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are minimal. Typically, 5 minutes are spent performing or supervising these services.

Hi Guest!

D2335
- resin-based composite - four or more surfaces or involving incisal angle (anterior)
D2391 - Resin Based composite
D2392 - resin-based composite - two surfaces, posterior

The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes 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 try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!
