Hi Guest!

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

The diagnosis code(s) will depend on the pateint's condition....basically, why are they receiving the services? For example, here are some possible coding options if the patient was receiving moderate sedation for services due to trauma/injury:

K03.81 - Cracked tooth
S02.5XXA - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture
S02.5XXB - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture
K08.411 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class I
K08.412 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class II
K08.413 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class III
K08.414 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class IV
K08.419 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class

However, the possibilities are almost endless! If this doesn't fit the bill for your patient, let me know some more details and I would be happy to offer you some coding options.

Hope this helps!
