We have a patient who would like us to check on coverage for an allograft D4275 through her medical insurance. What would be the cross code for medical? Thanks!

Hi jbublik!

D4275 = non-autogenous connective tissue graft (including recipient site and donor material) first tooth, implant, or edentulous tooth position in graft

can be crosscoded to:

41870 - Periodontal mucosal grafting

This crosscode is listed in Aetna's medical policy for "Oral Surgery Dental in Nature" policy at the link below:

Hope this helps!
