Hi Guest!

I do not show D6020 as a valid CDT code.
However, abutments do not have a direct medical CPT crosscode, so you may consider CPT 41899, that code stands for: unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures. So, in short, it can represent any procedure that happens relating to a tooth and the alveolar bone that doesn't have it's own specific CPT code! You would explain in your narrative report what procedure the is being used to represent.

Hope this helps!
