Hi Guest,
D9310 - consultation - diagnostic service provided by dentist or physician other than requesting dentist or physician Can be crosscoded to: • 99241 - Office consultation for a new or established patient, which requires these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; and 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.

The codes listed above does not 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
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

The codes listed above do not have direct crosscodes 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 codes below and include a narrative report describing the procedure: 41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures or 99070 - Supplies and materials (except spectacles), provided by the physician or other qualified health care professional over and above those usually included with the office visit or other services rendered (list drugs, trays, supplies, or materials provided)
