Hi guest!
Yes you are correct.
21210 stand for: Graft, bone; nasal, maxillary or malar areas (includes obtaining graft)
Or, if for the mandible - 21215 - Graft, bone; mandible (includes obtaining graft)
**use modifier -52 for reduced services when bone is not obtained from patient or when appropriate
Hope this helps!
