Hi Guest!

D6075 - implant supported retainer for ceramic FPD
D6245 - pontic - porcelain/ceramic

The ICD-10 diagnosis code(s) for these services will depend on the patient's condition and why the services were done.

For example, if the services are being done due to decay, you may use the of ICD-10 diagnosis code(s) below:

K02.3 - Arrested dental caries
K02.51 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface limited to enamel
K02.52 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface penetrating into dentin
K02.53 - Dental caries on pit and fissure surface penetrating into pulp
K02.61 - Dental caries on smooth surface limited to enamel
K02.62 - Dental caries on smooth surface penetrating into dentin
K02.63 - Dental caries on smooth surface penetrating into pulp
K02.7 - Dental root caries
K02.9 - Dental caries, unspecified

If it is being done for another reason (i.e. accident, loss of teeth, etc), let me know and I can offer you some coding options.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

The codes D6075 -D6245 are due to an accident.

Thank you for your help thus far.

Hi Guest!

Ok no problem, with some additional details about the accident, I can offer you some coding options.

A few questions to narrow it down:

1) What type of accident was it? (vehicle, fall, kick/punch by another person, etc?)
2) If it was a vehicle accident:
- what type of vehicle? (car, truck, 3 wheeler, bicycle, motorcycle etc?)
- was the patient the driver, a passenger, a pedestrian?)
3) If it was a fall:
- did the patient slip or trip? on the same level or off of a curb? or were they pushed? etc?
- did the patient hit anything on the way down?

Thanks and I look forward to your response!
