Hi Guest!
D7285 - incisional biopsy of oral tissue-hard (bone, tooth) can be crosscoded to: 20240 - Biopsy, bone, excisional; superficial
D9222 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – first 15 minutes and D9223 – deep sedation/general anesthesia – each additional 15 minutes can be crosscoded to: 00170 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified
D0330 - panoramic radiographic image Can be cross coded to: 70355 - Orthopantogram (eg, panoramic x-ray)
D0140 - limited oral evaluation - problem focused Can be cross coded to one of the following:
New patients: 99202 – 15-29 mins 99203 – 30-44 mins 99204 – 45-59 mins 99205 – 60-74 mins
Established patients: 99212 – 10-19 mins 99213 – 20-29 mins 99214 – 30-39 mins 99215 – 40-54 mins
D7451 - removal of benign odontogenic cyst or tumor - lesion diameter greater than 1.25 cm can be crosscoded to one of the following: 21040 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible, by enucleation and/or curettage 21046 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible; requiring intra-oral osteotomy (eg, locally aggressive or destructive lesion[s]) 21047 - Excision of benign tumor or cyst of mandible; requiring extra-oral osteotomy and partial mandibulectomy (eg, locally aggressive or destructive lesion[s]) 41825 - Excision of lesion or tumor, dentoalveolar structures; without repair 41826 - Excision of lesion or tumor, dentoalveolar structures; with simple repair 41827 - Excision of lesion or tumor, dentoalveolar structures; with complex repair
D7140 - Extraction, erupted tooth or exposed root (elevation and/or forceps removal) Extractions do not have direct crosscode - 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
For the diagnosis code, here's an option based on what you described (i am assuming it was benign because the dental procedure code D7451 describes removal of a benign tumor or cyst): D16.5 - Benign neoplasm of lower jaw bone
Hope this helps!

I had a unicystic ameloblastoma biopsied and then later removed from my lower right jaw along with teeth # 26,27, & 28 and about 2” of the front lateral section of the jaw. Oral surgeon not contracted with Medicare so I submitted the claim myself with the CDT codes provided by dental office. All parts were “denied” except initial biopsy. ICD 10 = 16.5 Pre-existing conditions anxiety, depression, and dental panic disorder, ie, reason for general anesthesia. Thank you very much for any assistance! Susan Putnam knSuJich
