Hi Kathy B!
D7286 - incisional biopsy of oral tissue-soft Since you indicated tongue, you are likely looking at one the following two options: 41110 - Biopsy of tongue, anterior two-thirds 41105 - Biopsy of tongue, posterior one-third
D9310 - consultation - diagnostic service provided by dentist or physician other than requesting dentist or physician Can be crosscoded to: • 99241 - Office consultation for a new or established patient, which requires these 3 key components: A problem focused history; A problem focused examination; and Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are self limited or minor. Typically, 15 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family. or • 99242 - Office consultation for a new or established patient, which requires these 3 key components: An expanded problem focused history; An expanded problem focused examination; and Straightforward medical decision making. Counseling and/or coordination of care with other physicians, other qualified health care professionals, or agencies are provided consistent with the nature of the problem(s) and the patient's and/or family's needs. Usually, the presenting problem(s) are of low severity. Typically, 30 minutes are spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family.
Hope this helps!
