Hi Guest!

There are not directly corresponding CPT (medical) codes for D2940, D3310, D2954 and D2750 that we are aware of. However, some medical insurers will actually process the "D" codes themselves on a medical claim, as although they are usually considered “Dental Codes”, they are actually found in the medical coding books, the HCPCS book.
However, if the insurer does not accept "D" codes, CPT code 41899 can be used in their place. 41899 stands for: Unlisted Procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Since this is a non-specific code, you will want to include a description of what the procedures are for processing.

Hope this helps, have a great day!
