billing code for clinical oral evaluations
clinical oral evaluations
The codes in this section recognize the cognitive skills necessary for patient evaluation.
The collection and recording of some data and components of the dental examination
may be delegated; however, the evaluation, which includes diagnosis and treatment
planning, is the responsibility of the dentist. As with all ADA procedure codes, there
is no distinction made between the evaluations provided by general practitioners and
specialists. Report additional diagnostic and/or definitive procedures separately.
