Hi Guest!

D9239 - Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/anesthesia – first 15 minutes
If provided by the same provider performing the service, and patient is 5+ years, this can be crosscoded to:
99152
Moderate sedation services provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient age 5 years or older

D5130 - immediate denture maxillary
D5140 - immediate denture - mandibular

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


As for the diagnosis code(s) tThe diagnosis code(s) will depend on the patient's condition/symptoms - so in other words, why is the patient receiving the services? For example, if the patient was is a traumatic accident that caused the need for the denture, there's code for that. If you can provide me with some additional details i'd be happy to offer you some coding options.

Hope this helps!
