Hi Mike!

D7953 - bone replacement graft for ridge preservation - per site
Can be cross coded to:
21210 - Graft, bone; nasal, maxillary or malar areas (includes obtaining graft)
21215 - Graft, bone; mandible (includes obtaining graft)
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient

D5820 - interim partial denture (maxillary)
The code listed above does not have 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

Hope this helps!

I need to change my dental codes to medical for file with my insurance company.

I have D7953 - Bonce replacement graft and D5820 - Interim Partial Denture Maxill

I would appreciate any help.

Mike
