Periodontal Billing Issues: Use appropriate procedure codes. Don’t change procedure codes to save patient money. SPT (D4910) requires prior SRP or osseous surgery to get reimbursed. Don’t alternate D1110 with D4910 or will require more SRP prior to D4910 in order to get reimbursed. D4910 will not be reimbursed if over 2 years since last maintenance visit. Treatment plan D1110 or SRP (D4341 or D4342). D4910 treatment note should include that scale and polish was completed. This will allow reimbursement for D1110 if D4910 is denied. Remember to identify which teeth receive SRP in note if limited SRP (D4342).
