What would an ICD 10 code be for implant placement of an extracted tooth.
I'm helping bill medical and need the ICD 10 code, since we do not encounter this often I do not know which code to use.

Hi,
I'm new to submitting to medical insurances. I'm lost in filling out the form. Have a patient that had a cracked tooth. I did the extraction, implant, bone graft and placed a membrane with sutures. What codes and diagnostic codes should I use? Any modifiers and diagnosis pointers? Thanks so much.

Hi Guest!
Basically, to select the appropriate diagnosis code(s), the question is: why is the patient getting these services?
For example, if it was due to an accident, there are thousands of codes to describe the specific accidents and damage done due to the accident. (if this was an accident case, let me know some details about the accident and I can supply you with some coding options).
Another example, many times implants are done due to atrophy. If that is the case, here are some coding options for you:
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
If the services are being done for another reason, let me know and I will offer you some coding options.
Hope this helps!

Hi Danielle!
An ICD indicator refers to ICD-9 or ICD-10. On the CMS 1500 claim form in box 24 in the upper right hand corner you will want to include 0 for 10.
Hope this helps!

Question: We are a dental office submitting to medical for a denial to turn around to dental for payment. Medical is requesting an ICD Diagnosis Indicator. The implant and bonegraft are due to congenital condition. Do you know what the diagnosis indicator would be for this procedure?
thank you in advance!!!!

Hi Guest!
The ICD-10 diagnosis code(s) for these services will depend on the patient's condition and why the services were done.
For example, if the bone grafts and implants were done due to atrophy, you may end up using one of the following:
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
If it is being done for another reason (i.e. accident, loss of teeth, etc), let me know and I can offer you some coding options.
Hope this helps!
