Hi Guest!
If the broken incisor was due to accidental injury/trauma and you're billing it to medical insurance, you would actually typically end up using CPT code 41899 (which stands for Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures), because there is not a specific CPT code for bonding or filings.
You may also consider using the ZZ and/or JP qualifiers to provide additional information on the line item.
The JP qualifier to indicates the tooth numbers. So for example if it was tooth number 8, it would read:
JP8
The ZZ qualifier indicates you will be providing a short description, like this:
ZZbonding for fractured tooth
An example of how to use the ZZ and JP qualifiers on the medical claim can be found int he NUCC's claim form manual on page 47 & 48, here is a link to it:
https://nucc.org/images/stories/PDF/1500_claim_form_instruction_manual_2021_07-v9.pdfYou would also use diagnosis codes, for example:
For the broken/fractured tooth:
S02.5XXA - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture
S02.5XXB - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture
If there was pain:
G89.11 - Acute pain due to trauma
And to describe the accident. For example, struck by a softball:
W21.07XA - Struck by softball, initial encounter
(there's tons of codes to describe different accidents, if you can supply me with details about how an accident happened, I'm happy to offer you some coding options).
Hope this helps!
