Hi Guest!
First thing you will need for a pre-auth request is diagnosis code(s), here are some options for you below:
Q35.1 - Cleft hard palate Q35.3 - Cleft soft palate Q35.5 - Cleft hard palate with cleft soft palate Q36.0 - Cleft lip, bilateral Q36.1 - Cleft lip, median Q36.9 - Cleft lip, unilateral
As for the procedure codes:
D8090 - Comprehensive orthodontic treatment of the adult dentition D6740 - retainer crown - porcelain/ceramic D6245 - pontic - porcelain/ceramic D2740 - crown - porcelain/ceramic substrate
There are not a direct crosscodes we are aware of for these procedures, so you can either use the "D" code on the pre-authorization request/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!

Hi there, a patient was born with a cleft palate and is interesting in improving her smile.. we'd look to do ortho and ant. bridge post ortho to achieve desired results
the codes we will use will be: D8090 D6740 D6245 D2740
How do you suggest we cross code to submit a medical pre-authorization?
Thank you
