Hello, My insurance company will not reimburse for my two front teeth procedure. We cannot give them the ICD 10 codes if i don't know them and neither does the dentist. We gave them 41899 they want the icd 10 codes for the replacement of the two front teeth. both tooth 8 and 9 had the following procedure done.
tooth 8 and 9- crown buildup include any pins
tooth 8 and 9 - labial veneer (porcelin lam) lab.
Been going back and forth since June. Please Help.

Hi Guest!

As for diagnosis code(s) - this will depend on the patient's condition, or basically why are the services being done. If you could provide me some details on that, i would be happy to offer you some coding options. (for example, if the teeth are being replaced because they were knocked out during a traumatic accident, there are codes to indicate missing teeth due to trauma)
