Hi Guest!

D9310 - consultation - diagnostic service provided by dentist or physician other than requesting dentist or physician
Can be crosscoded to:
• 99241 - Office consultation for a new or established patient, which requires these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; and Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are self limited or minor. Typically, 15 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family.
or
• 99242 - Office consultation for a new or established patient, which requires these 3 key components: An expanded problem focused history; An expanded problem focused examination; and Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are of low severity. Typically, 30 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family.


D0220
- intraoral - periapical first radiographic image
can be cross coded to:
70300 - Radiologic examination, teeth; single view


D0364 - Cone beam CT capture and interpretation with limited field of view - less than one whole jaw
can be cross coded to:
76497 - Unlisted computed tomography procedure (eg, diagnostic, interventional)



D3355 - Pulpal regeneration - initial visit
D2330 - resin-based composite - one surface, anterior
D3357 - pulpal regeneration - completion of treatment

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 use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures


Hope this helps!
