Hi Guest!

D4266 - guided tissue regeneration - resorbable barrier, per site
can be cross coded to:
41870 - Periodontal mucosal grafting
or
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
**include narrative report to describe the procedure

Hope this helps!

Hi Guest!

D4266 - guided tissue regeneration - resorbable barrier, per site
D7953 - bone replacement graft for ridge preservation - per site


As for the diagnosis code(s) to use, that will always depend on why the patient is receiving the services - basically, what is the condition/disease that is causing these services to be needed?

For example, if it is due to atrophy, here are some coding options below:

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

Is the services are being done for other reasons/symptoms/conditions/diseases, let me know and I am happy to offer you some coding options.

Hope this helps!

Hi Helen,

D4263 - bone replacement graft - first site in quadrant
can be crosscoded to:
21210 - graft, bone; nasal, maxillary, or malar areas
21215 - graft, mandibular
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient

D4266 - guided tissue regeneration - resorbable barrier, per site
can be cross coded to:
41870 - Periodontal mucosal grafting

D0351- 3D photographic image
The code 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!
