Hi Guest!
D7251 - Coronectomy – intentional partial tooth removal
There is actually not a direct crosscode for coronectomy we are aware of, so you can either bill the "D" code on the medical claim (many insurers these days will process "D" codes when they are medically necessary services), or you can use the CPT code below and include a narrative report describing the procedure:
41899 - Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar structures
Hope this helps!

Hi, is a modifier required when submitting code D7251 to medical? If so, what would that be? Thanks.

If you use 41899, you can use the ZZ qualifier to provide a short description of what procedure the code is being used to represent.
The JP qualifier to indicates the tooth numbers. So for example, if it was tooth number 1 & 16, it would read:
JP1 18
The ZZ qualifier indicates you will be providing a short description, like this:
ZZ coronectomy
Hope this helps!
