Good morning. I have been searching the web this morning for an answer, but decided to ask here. I bill for Oral Surgeons, who at times extract carious teeth for Medicare patients who have cancer before they begin radiation treatment. Pre ICD 10 we used V07.8 with the cancer diagnosis and it was paid. All the crosswalks we found came up with V07.8=z41.8. Now Medicare is denying stating the Z41.8 makes it routine dental. Anyone out there having the same issue? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Mary
