Diagnostic D0100 – D0999  \nII. Preventive D1000 – D1999  \nIII. Restorative D2000 – D2999  \nIV. Endodontics D3000 – D3999  \nV. Periodontics D4000 – D4999  \nVI. Prosthodontics, removable D5000 – D5899  \nVII. Maxillofacial Prosthetics D5900 – D5999  \nVIII. Implant Services D6000 – D6199  \nIX. Prosthodontics, fixed D6200 – D6999  \nX. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery D7000 – D7999  \nXI. Orthodontics D8000 – D8999  \nXII. Adjunctive General Services D9000 – D9999  \nThese categories exist solely as a means to organize the CDT Code. As a result, some categories of service are divided into subcategories of related procedures. Many categories and subcategories have descriptors applicable to all procedure codes therein.  \nComponents of a Dental Procedure Code Entry  \nEvery procedure in the CDT Code must have the first two of the following three components:  \n1. Procedure Code – A five character alphanumeric code beginning with the letter “D” that identifies a specific dental procedure. A Procedure Code cannot be changed or abbreviated.  \n2. Nomenclature – The written title of a Procedure Code. Nomenclature may be abbreviated when printed on claim forms or other documents that are subject to space limitation. Any such abbreviation does not constitute a change to the Nomenclature.  \n3. Descriptor – A written narrative that further defines the nature and intended use of a single Procedure Code, or group of such codes. A Descriptor, when present, follows the applicable Procedure Code and its Nomenclature. Descriptors that apply to a series of Procedure Codes precede that series of codes.  \nUsing the CDT Code  \nThe following points should prove helpful when using the CDT Code for recording services provided on the patient record, and when reporting procedures on a paper or electronic claim submission.  \n1. The presence of a CDT Code does not mean that the procedure is:  \na. endorsed by any entity or is considered a standard of care  \nb. covered or reimbursed by a dental benefits plan  \n2. General practitioners, specialists, and other individuals may report any of the listed CDT Codes as long as they are acting within the scope of their state law.  \n3. CDT Codes that require inclusion of a narrative description on the claim have the words “by report” in their nomenclature.  \n4.“Unspecified…procedure, by report” codes are used when, in the opinion of the dentist, there is no other CDT Code entry that accurately describes the services provided the patient.  \nClassification of Materials  \nNames of dental materials are included in numerous procedure nomenclatures within several Categories of Service (e.g. , Restorative; Prosthodontics, fixed). The following list of dental materials is included in the CDT Code solely to aid to selection of a procedure code applicable to the service provided. The noble metal classification system has been adopted as a more precise method of reporting various alloys used in dentistry. The alloys are defined on the basis of the percentage of metal content.  \nCLASSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS  \nHigh Noble Alloys  \nNoble Metal Content ≥ 60%(gold + platinum group*) and gold ≥ 40%  \nTitanium and Titanium Alloys  \nTitanium ≥ 85%  \nNoble Alloys  \nNoble Metal Content ≥ 25%(gold + platinum group*)  \nPredominantly Base Alloys  \nNoble Metal Content \u003C 25%(gold + platinum group*)  \n* metals of the platinum group are platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium  \nPorcelain/Ceramic  \nRefers to pressed, fired, polished or milled materials containing predominantly inorganic refractory compounds including porcelains, glasses, ceramics, and glass-ceramics.  \nResin  \nRefers to any resin-based composite, including fiber or ceramic reinforced polymer compounds, and glass Ionomers.  \nRequired Statem","cbCaiigDErdCdRm7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiigDErdCdRm7","pdf",272192,"English","# Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature for Pediatric Services\n## Category of Service Code Series\n## Components of a Dental Procedure Code Entry\n## Using the CDT Code\n## Classification of Materials\n## Required Statement\n## Current Edition and Symbols\n## Diagnostic Oral Evaluations","[{\"question\":\"What are the twelve CDT service categories in this chapter?\",\"answer\":\"The chapter lists twelve service categories, ranging from Diagnostic (D0100–D0999) to Adjunctive General Services (D9000–D9999), each using a series of five-digit alphanumeric codes.\"},{\"question\":\"What components must every CDT procedure code entry include?\",\"answer\":\"Each procedure entry requires a Procedure Code (five-character alphanumeric starting with “D”), a Nomenclature (the written title of the code), and may include a Descriptor (a narrative defining nature and intended use).\"},{\"question\":\"When is a narrative description required with a CDT code submission?\",\"answer\":\"When a code’s nomenclature includes a “by report” notation, the chapter states that a narrative explaining the treatment provided must be included with the claim submission.\"}]","Chapter 1 - Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature for Pediatric Services - Classification of Materials | PDF",6]
