Hi Guest,
Although most insurers consider periodontal therapy "dental" a few medical insurance carriers may reimburse for this service when "medical necessity" is established.
CPT 41820 GINGIVECTOMY, EACH QUADRANT CPT 41820-50 GINGIVECTOMY, EACH QUADRANT
Modifier -50 specifies a bilateral service
Here are the Perio ICD 10 codes
• K05.211 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, slight
• K05.212 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, moderate
• K05.213 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, severe
• K05.219 Aggressive periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity
• K05.221 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, slight
• K05.222 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, moderate
• K05.223 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, severe
• K05.229 Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, unspecified severity
• K05.311 Chronic periodontitis, localized, slight
• K05.312 Chronic periodontitis, localized, moderate
• K05.313 Chronic periodontitis, localized, severe
• K05.319 Chronic periodontitis, localized, unspecified severity
• K05.321 Chronic periodontitis, generalized, slight
• K05.322 Chronic periodontitis, generalized, moderate

Hope this helps!

I have a pregnant patient that received a RX from her OBGYN to have her teeth cleaned every 3 months due to perio during pregnancy. I tried to submit with perio ICD.
What ICD code would help to get payment and would we use the 41820 for the prophy with modifier 50 for bilateral service?
