Hi ssrdds1,

It is certainly not uncommon for a medical insurer to prefer the use 41899 in place of a "D" code on the medical claim. While many medical insurer will process D7240 (removal of impacted tooth - completely bony) since there is a not a direct CPT crosscode, not all will.

Tooth numbers can be easily reported on the medical claim using the JP qualifier.

41899 is not necessarily a surgical CPT code, it actually stands for: Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!

Can you give me a CPT code for surgical extraction (impacted/bony)? Insurance will not accept the CDT code.

Thanks!!
