The ICD-10 transition is a mandate that applies to all parties covered by HIPAA, not just providers who bill Medicare or Medicaid.
On December 7, 2011, CMS released a final rule updating payers' medical loss ratio to account for ICD-10 conversion costs. Effective January 3, 2012, the rule allows payers to switch some ICD-10 transition costs from the category of administrative costs to clinical costs, which will help payers cover transition costs.
On January 16, 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rule mandating that everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) implement ICD-10 for medical coding.
In a 2017 Parameter of Care, AAOMS indicates that due to the added advantages of lower costs and morbidity, fast recovery, and decreased duration of orthodontic therapy and decompensation, surgically assisted osteogenic orthodontics (SAOO) may be considered as a treatment option when clinically indicated for pediatric patients requiring distraction osteogenesis orthognathic surgery.
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are used to improve anchorage during routine orthodontic therapy. They are gaining popularity and can allow better anchorage than extraoral headgear which relies on significant patient compliance for success. TAD’s may also be used for distraction osteogenesis of the mandible and this use is medical in nature and typically covered under the member’s medical plan. Impacted teeth are those that are not expected to erupt into their normal position within the dental arch. The most common impactions occur with third molars and maxillary canine teeth but may involve any teeth. If impacted teeth (other than third molars, primary or supernumerary teeth) are exposed early and there is no tooth size or arch length discrepancies, these teeth will often erupt on their own. However, these teeth may require surgery to expose the tooth and place a bracket, band or other device on the unerupted tooth, after its exposure, to aid eruption. Corticotomy in this context is a relatively new surgical procedure that involves creating cuts in, or removal of alveolar bone for the purpose of accelerating orthodontic treatment.

no you do not need to worry about this. when the patient goes to the dental office they will find an appropriate dx code for the routine exam at the dentist office.
A presenting complaint is not an abnormal finding. also a rash is not a diagnosis for a dental referral.. so there must be something in the note. Depending on what the note states as the visit and exam performed is how I would base the codes. V.
