Long term (current) use of antibiotics. Z79.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM Z79.2 became effective on October 1, 2019.
Encounter for therapeutic drug level monitoring. Z51.81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Z51.81 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z51.81 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z51.81 may differ.
Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status Z79.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Localized Delivery of Antimicrobial Agents via Controlled Release Vehicle into Diseased Crevicular Tissue, per Tooth - Dental Procedure Code Description. This dental procedure code refers to the administration of time-released antibiotic to clear infectious bacteria from areas below the gumline.
D1206 refers to professionally applied fluoride varnish and D1208 is any topical application of fluoride including fluoride gels or fluoride foams (excluding fluoride varnish). This measure does not take into account alternate home-use fluoride products including supplements.
D4346 scaling in presence of generalized moderate or severe gingival. inflammation – full mouth, after oral evaluation.
This code must be correctly used such as if you do consecutive teeth that go from one quadrant to another quadrant you must bill D4342 twice 7,8 upper right quadrant, 9,10,11 upper left quadrant.
D0150 - Comprehensive Oral Evaluation, New/established patient, is a very usable code. D0160 - Detailed and Extensive Evaluation, Problem-focused, by report. D0170 - Reevaluation, Limited, Problem-focused, should be used several times a day in hygiene.
D0140 is a stand-alone code and may always be reported in conjunction with D9110.
Codes D4341 and D4342 have a similar description in CDT 2016. The only differences are whether the disease being treated is four or more teeth per quadrant or one to three teeth.
Comprehensive Oral Evaluation, new or established patient: This code applies when a general dentist and/or dental specialist examines the patient.
The comprehensive periodontal evaluation (D0180) is indicated for patients showing signs/symptoms of periodontal disease, or for patients with risk factors such as smoking or diabetes.
If an office submits both D4342 and D1110 on the same day, the prophy may not be reimbursed. However, if you include a narrative about extra time used, D1110 may be reimbursed as well. Again, this is variable among payors.
D4341, D4342 CODING FOR PERIODONTAL SCALING AND ROOT PLANING (SRP), PER QUADRANT OR PARTIAL QUADRANT.
D7140 – extraction, erupted tooth or exposed root (ele- vation, and/or forcep removal). The descriptor of this code includes routine removal of tooth structure, minor smoothing of socket bone and closure as necessary.

During pregnancy, childbirth or the puerperium, a patient admitted (or presenting for a health care encounter) because of COVID-19 should receive a principal diagnosis code of O98.5- , Other viral diseases complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, followed by code U07.1, COVID-19, and the appropriate codes for associated manifestation (s). Codes from Chapter 15 always take sequencing priority

LDCA/LDAA may be appropriate when used as adjunctive therapy to treat refractory pockets following initial therapy with periodontal scaling and root planing or in conjun ction with periodontal maintenance.
