Hi Guest!


D4341 - periodontal scaling and root planing - four or more teeth per quadrant

The code listed above does not have a direct crosscode we are aware of, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can try the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

I am unable to locate the code D4345.

Hope this helps, have a great day!

Hi Guest!

Just a heads up - it appears D4345 - Periodontal Scaling Performed in the Presence of Gingival Inflammation - was deleted in 1995.
