implant codes?

Post by enamelrod » Tue May 14, 2013 9:12 am

are implant codes 6057 and 6058 not associated with tooth numbers?

i use codes 6057 and 6058 for the implant abutment and crown but there is no tooth number assocated with the code? is this correct? the implant is assocated with a tooth but not the 6057 or 6058 codes

I'm not a dentist so I'll leave that portion of the answer up to Dr. Liftig or someone else.

For newer users who might not know where to change tooth procedure treatment areas:
To associate procedures with tooth numbers, Lists > Procedure Codes > double click on the desired code > Change Treatment Area to Tooth.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

We have tooth numbers associated with those codes.
Do you have the "Is Prosthesis" box checked in the code description? I think this is necessary for C&B, RPDs, etc

By default they weren't associated with tooth numbers, but should have been. It is easy to change. Follow Jason's instructions.
