Hi Guest!
Yes using the JO & JP qualifiers can certainly help your case when identifying tooth numbers and areas of the oral cavity when billing these procedures to medical insurance.
For the extractions, using the JP qualifier and indicating the tooth numbers being extracted would be a good idea.
For the bone grafts and implants, since there won't be any teeth there anymore, using the JO qualifiers would be good to indicate the area of the oral cavity those services will take place.
If it is the entire mandibular arch, you could use the qualifier "JO02" instead of using "JO30 40"
The following are the codes for tooth numbers, reported with the JP qualifier:
• 1 –32: Permanent dentition
• 51 –82: Permanent supernumerary dentition
• A –T: Primary dentition
• AS –TS: Primary supernumerary dentition
The following are the codes for areas of the oral cavity, reported with the JO qualifier:
• 00 : Entire oral cavity
• 01 : Maxillary arch
• 02 : Mandibular arch
• 10 : Upper right quadrant
• 20 : Upper left quadrant
• 30 : Lower left quadrant
• 40: Lower right quadrant
Examples of how this would look on the medical claim can be found in the NUCC's CMS 1500 claim form manual here, starting on page 46 & 47:
