Hi Guest!
I do believe D9240 was retired in 2016, however the description on that was: intravenous sedation.
D9243 - Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/analgesia – each 15 minute increment
Below are the coding options for moderation sedation and anesthesia for intraoral procedures:
99151 Moderate sedation services provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient younger than 5 years of age
99152 Moderate sedation services provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient age 5 years or older
99153 Moderate sedation services provided by the same physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status; each additional 15 minutes intraservice time (list separately in addition to code for primary service)
99155 Moderate sedation services provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient younger than 5 years of age
99156 Moderate sedation services provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; initial 15 minutes of intraservice time, patient age 5 years or older
99157 Moderate sedation services provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional other than the physician or other qualified health care professional performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports; each additional 15 minutes intraservice time (list separately in addition to code for primary service)
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)
Hope this helps!
