We have a patient that we are going to be performing an occlusal adjustment for prior to making her an appliance, in order to treat her TMD. Is there a cross code for D9952 so that we can try sending that through medical also?

Hi jbublik!

There is not a specific CPT code that represent this procedure, so you can either file D9952 on the medical claim, or if the insurer you are filing to does not process "D" codes (many medical insurers do process "D" codes these days), you can use a miscellaneous CPT code and include a narrative report to describe the procedure, such as:

41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures

Hope this helps!
