4 C D 43 D43 R R O D O C I N G watch I O N E C T COMMENTS/ LIMITATIONS 112 full mouth debridement to enable comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis cdt-2007/2008 The gross removal of plaque and calculus that interfere with the ability of the dentist to perform a comprehensive oral evaluation. This preliminary procedure does not preclude the need for additional procedures. 1. Full mouth debridement (D43) is only to be used where the comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) or comprehensive periodontal evaluation (D0180) cannot be performed due to excessive and bulky calculus, heavy plaque, and debris buildup. 2. The comprehensive oral evaluation (D010/D0180) generally follows the full mouth debridement on a later date (typically allow 14 days healing). In the case of a general practice, D010 would generally follow. D43 is only reimbursed about 2-33% of the time, even if sequenced perfectly. Thus, it is rejected 67% - 7% of the time, with perfect coding. 3. D43 is not a definitive treatment. A prophylaxis (D1110), referral to a periodontist, or scaling and root planing (D4341/D4342), always follows this preliminary procedure. 4. D43 should not be erroneously reported as a first visit prophy.. If the patient can be adequately diagnosed with bone loss, bleeding on probing, and 4mm-mm or greater pockets at the comprehensive oral evaluation, then consider proceeding directly to SRP, D4341/D4342, which is inclusive of any gross debridement to enable comprehensive evaluationa and diagnosis. 6. It is erroneous to report D43 following periodontal maintenance D4910, unless the patient has been absent from the practice so long that the evaluation upon return cannot be performed due to excessive calculus and debris. D4910 always follows osseous surgery (D4260/D4261) and generally follows periodontal scaling/root planing (D4341/D4342). See D4342 for a possible exception where prophylaxis follows SRP in very limited circumstances. 7. Full mouth debridement is a full mouth, four quadrant procedure -- not one or two quadrants. 1. The sole purpose of full mouth debridement (D43) is for preliminary debridement of excessive and bulky calculus to allow a proper periodontal and caries evaluation, which otherwise could not be performed due to plaque and calculus. This preliminary debridement is generally performed prior to the comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) or comprehensive periodontal evaluation (D0180). D010 or D0180 is not generally completed or charged out on the same service date, but on a subsequent date. However, preliminary evaluation data may be gathered and recorded at the first visit. D43 is not typically reimbursed by payors on the same service date as a comprehensive oral evaluation (D010), but there are exceptions. However, nothing in the descriptor of D43 prevents a comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) on the same service date. 2. Proper diagnosis and sequencing of D43 is very important for reimbursement. Improper sequence results in either denial or remapping to a different code, usually D1110. For instance, some payors will convert the full mouth debridement (D43) to a prophylaxis (D1110); then when another D1110 is later submitted, the payor refuses to reimburse, stating a prophylaxis within the typical one per six-month limitation period has previously been reimbursed. Furthermore, if the comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) or comprehensive periodontal evaluation (D0180) is performed prior to full mouth debridement, most payors will convert D43 to a simple prophylaxis (D1110) for reimbursement, if available. 3. If D43 is reimbursed, it may be classified preventive, basic, or major, but most often classified as preventive. Plan limitations are highly variable. 4. Assuming a comprehensive oral evaluation (D010/D0180) cannot be performed due to swelling, calculus, debris, and bleeding, then a full mouth debridement and full series or panographic diagnostic films (optional) are performed at visit #1 and the comprehensive oral evaluation is completed, and charged out, including a thorough periodontal evaluation at visit #2. Generally, following full mouth debridement, fourteen days may be allowed for healing prior to the comprehensive oral evaluation (D010/D0180) service date; in fact, this is often a requirement for payors. Generally, diagnostic films can be taken at the first visit in conjunction with the full mouth debridement without hindering the reimbursement of both.
5 TIP/ NARRATIVE. Plan limitations regarding frequency of full mouth debridement are highly variable. Limitations vary from once per lifetime to every 3- years. 6. Some payors will reimburse full mouth debridement only when reported as D4999. Others may reimburse on the basis of, or remapping to palliative (D9110). See TIPS below and also refer to palliative (D9110) for further details. 7. Full mouth debridement to enable comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis (D43) often requires meeting any associated deductible. 1. A narrative should be used when reporting D43, for example: Patient has not seen dentist in three years. A full mouth debridement is necessary for a subsequent comprehensive oral evaluation. Write an accurate narrative describing excessive and bulky calculus, debris, bleeding, swelling, etc., indicating specifically how this was preventing an evaluation. Include photographs, if available. 2. Some offices inform insured patients that they have not kept up their preventive visits, and two prophylaxis visits are required to bring their dental health up to date. Since they have waited 2-3 years, insurance reimbursement for D1110 is limited to one per six months or two per year, hence the overdue patient is penalized. Thus, the patient must pay out-of-pocket for one of the required prophylaxis. Place the burden on the patient for his/her procrastination and loss of insurance benefits. 3. Under CDT-2007/2008, there is no alternate classification code for a second prophy or a difficult prophy. For the difficult prophylaxis requiring additional time, report D1110 at a higher fee. Note: The full mouth debridement code (D43) should not be routinely used on new patients. The typical general dentist s office would only use this code a few times a year, as appropriate. 4. Proper Sequence for best reimbursement: (see next page) D
6 D Visit #1 Full mouth debridement (D43) PLUS Intraoral - complete series (D0210) (optional at first visit) OR Panographic film (D0330) (optional at first visit) Note: At first visit, preliminary oral evaluation data may be gathered but not reported since the comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) is not complete. Waiting Period Between Visits 14 day wait suggested for healing Visit #2 Comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) or comprehensive oral periodontal evaluation (D0180). Note: Since the comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) is broader or more encompassing, the general practitioner would report D010 for the periodontal patient. On the other hand, the periodontist would report D0180 for the new comprehensive patient. At Visit #2 there are three possible scenarios upon the completion of the comprehensive oral evaluation: 1. A prophylaxis (D1110) is performed. 2. If periodontal problems exist, generally no prophylaxis is performed; fully document and proceed to root planing and scaling (D4341/D4342) for applicable quadrants. 3. Referral to a periodontist. Note: A panographic film on visit #1 and bitewings at visit #2 (different date) may result in a higher reimbursement than taken on the same service date. See D Palliative (D9110) may possibly be reimbursed for partial mouth debridement under an acute and spontaneous discomfort scenario. If reimbursed, it generally reimburses at a lower UCR fee than D43, if payable. See D9110 for comments. 114
7 CLINICAL FLOW CHART General Practice Scenario New Patient Unable to perform evaluation Able to perform evaluation Gross debridement to enable comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis (D43) 14 d a y s Comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) And either: D 43 Prophylaxis (D1110) Scaling and root planing (D4341/D4342) Refer to Periodontist Note: 1. If unable to perform a comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) due to excessive buildup of calculus and debris, proceed to a gross debridement to enable comprehensive oral evaluation (D43). 2. Necessary diagnostic films may be taken on either/both gross debridement (D43) or comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) service dates. For instance, a panographic film (D0330) on the gross debridement (D43) service date and four bitewings (D0274) on the subsequent comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) date may avoid remapping or downcoding to a complete series (D0120). 3. Comprehensive oral evaluation (D010) should follow gross debridement (D43) on a subsequent service date, with a suggested interval of 14 days or more for healing. Reimbursement for D43 is only available about 2% 30% of the time, so inform the patient of patient responsibility for out-ofpocket. See also palliative D
