Hello,

I'm trying to bill D7953, D7951, D4267 to pt.'s medical insurance. Could you please tell me what's the diagnosis pointer for the procedures?

Thank you!

Hi Guest!

Great question. The diagnosis code(s) will depend on the patient's condition (if you can give me some additional details surrounding that I am happy to offer you some coding options). For example, below are some common diagnostic codes used when billing bone grafts to medical insurance:

K08.21 - Minimal atrophy of the mandible
K08.22 - Moderate atrophy of the mandible
K08.23 - Severe atrophy of the mandible
K08.24 - Minimal atrophy of maxilla
K08.25 - Moderate atrophy of the maxilla
K08.26 - Severe atrophy of the maxilla
K08.411 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class I
K08.412 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class II
K08.413 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class III
K08.414 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, class IV
K08.419 - Partial loss of teeth due to trauma, unspecified class
K03.81 - Cracked tooth
S02.5XXA - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for closed fracture
S02.5XXB - Fracture of tooth (traumatic), initial encounter for open fracture
S03.2XXA - Dislocation of tooth, initial encounter

Hope this helps!
