I need help converting dental code, D4277 (free soft tissue graft) to a medical code to file with BCBS.
Thanks,
Jo

Hi guest!
D4277 = free soft tissue graft procedure (including donor site surgery), first tooth or edentulous tooth position in graft
There is not a specific CPT code that represent this procedure, so you can either file D4277 on the medical claim, or if the BCBS you are filing to does not process "D" codes (many medical insurers do process "D" codes these days), you can use a miscellaneous CPT code and include a narrative report to describe the procedure, such as:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Hope this helps!
