None of the codes listed above have a direct crosscode 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 try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

D7951 - sinus augmentation with bone or bone substitutes via a lateral open approach D7952 - sinus augmentation via a vertical approach can be crosscoded to: 21210 - graft, bone; nasal, maxillary, or malar areas *use -52 modifier for reduced services when bone is not obtained from the patient
D9223 - deep sedation/general anesthesia — each 15-minute increment can be crosscoded to: 00170 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; not otherwise specified 00172 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; repair of cleft palate 00174 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; excision of retropharyngeal tumor 00176 - Anesthesia for intraoral procedures, including biopsy; radical surgery 01999 - Unlisted anesthesia procedure(s)

Hello !
I was hoping to get some help on sending a medical claim for a denial, in order to get dental to process the claim. Can you please help me convert the following dental codes and also some diagnosis codes needed for them? Also will I need modifiers? Thank you so much !! I am having a hard time getting anything through with medical.
D7210 D7220 D7230 D7240 D6010 D7953 D7950 D7951 D7952 D9223 D9612
Sorry for all the codes
