I am in desperate need of a reputable site for converting CDT codes to ICD- 10CM codes. Or even a site that will convert a dental claim to medical claim?

D9243
D7210
D7240
D7241

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Hi Guest!

No problem. I am not aware of any sites that will convert a dental claim to a medical claim, however here at Nierman Practice Management we have been assisting dental practices to bill medical insurance since 1988. We have a great software to help you streamline your medical documentation & billing called the DentalWriter software. Here is a link to more information, and you can schedule a demo if you're interested: https://niermanpm.com/dental-sleep-billing-software

We also have crosscode online that helps you convert dental code into medical codes, when there is a crosscode available.

As for the codes you listed:

D9243 - Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/analgesia – each 15 minute increment

below are the moderate sedation coding options:

99151
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 younger than 5 years of age

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

99153
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; each additional 15 minutes intraservice time (list separately in addition to code for primary service)

99155
Moderate sedation services provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient younger than 5 years of age

99156
Moderate sedation services provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient age 5 years or older

99157
Moderate sedation services provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; each additional 15 minutes intraservice time (list separately in addition to code for primary service)


D7210 - surgical removal of erupted tooth requiring removal of bone and/or sectioning of tooth, and including elevation of mucoperiosteal flap if indicated
D7240 - removal of impacted tooth - completely bony
D7241 - removal of impacted tooth - completely bony, with unusual surgical complications

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!
