I have a friend that does billing for an oral surgeon. She sent the following question to me. "The surgeon bills some Dental radiology codes and wants to know if the following codes can be split billed with mod TC and 26: D0290,
D0330, D340 and D350.
Also they perform radiology procedures 70355 and 70350. They do not own rent or lease the equipment but their staff perform the procedure at the hospital. They do not bill the codes at all thinking that they can't. I advised her that they can bill for the procedures and attach a modifier-26 to the procedures for the professional component. In CPT it states that if the physician performs the supervsion and interpretation to see codes outside the 70000 series.
Are there seperate codes found in the dental coding book? Was I correct to advise them to use CPT codes with mod-26 attached.
I do not have access to a Dental CPT - Is there one? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
Christine
