Q: What is the code for a surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion? (SARPE)

A: For medical, a SARPE can coded as 21142 (Reconstruction midface, Le Fort I, segment movement in any dir3ection, without bone graft) and modified with the -52 reduced services modifier to signify the lack of down-fracturing.

For dental, code D7947 can be used (Le Fort I (maxilla - segmented)). Make sure to include a narrative when no down-fracture is included to explain that!
