Hi Guest!
D0140 - limited oral evaluation - problem focused Can be crosscoded to: 99201 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; 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, 10 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family. or 99211 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, that may not require the presence of a physician or other qualified health care professional. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are minimal. Typically, 5 minutes are spent performing or supervising these services.
D0220 - intraoral - periapical first radiographic image can be cross coded to: 70300 - Radiologic examination, teeth; single view
D0230 - intraoral - periapical each additional radiographic image Can be cross coded to: 70310 - Radiologic examination, teeth; partial examination, less than full mouth
As for nitrous, extractions & space maintainers (D9230, D7140 & D1517), there are not direct crosscodes we are aware of for these procedures, so you can either use 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!

Hi there, I am looking for a CDT code to CPT code for several codes. My son had a bike accident and hit a boulder with his mouth (we now have face shield bike helmets!). He had a tooth avulsed, and a couple years later baby teeth die around the avulsed tooth. He needed opposite side extractions and a space maintainer. Medical insurance agreed to pay for the work already referencing the dental codes, but now are asking for CPT codes and dental offices say they won't bill medical codes. I can submit the bill, but I don't know how to get the codes. I've looked online, but many codes are from years ago and I don't know if they are current. Stuck between med/dent worlds.
Thank you very much in advance
