Hi Guest!
Great question. The ICD-10 diagnosis code(s) should be selected based on the patient's condition/symptoms, so you should verify this with your healthcare provider. However, it is common for atrophy diagnosis codes to be used for bone grafts:
K08.21 - Minimal atrophy of the mandible K08.22 - Moderate atrophy of the mandible K08.23 - Severe atrophy of the mandible K08.24 - Minimal atrophy of maxilla K08.25 - Moderate atrophy of the maxilla K08.26 - Severe atrophy of the maxilla
K06.3 - Horizontal alveolar bone loss
Hope this helps!

Hello,
I had a tooth crack to the root years after getting a root canal. Endonotist siggested a dental implant. I had the tooth pulled & a bone graft done, and now my dental insurance is requiring me to file a claim with my medical insurance for the bone graft.
Could you share what the diagnosis code would be in this situation?
Thanks in advance.
