I received a denial on a claim for TMJ. I used code 524.69 and 715.9. BCBS said I need a code with highest level of diagnosis. Do you have any suggestions? Dr. Bailey diagnosed her with codes 524.69, 715.9 , 524.63, 723.1

Thanks , Dr. Chris Sterling

Dr. Chris Sterling,

Both of those codes would fall into unspecified codes. Out of the codes that you listed, the 524.63 would be the best as the primary diagnosis.
