Successful implant outcomes-Implant Coding Tips
There are two types of implant crowns: abutment supported and screw retained. When submitting a claim for an abutment supported crown please add the abutment code. Abutments are not needed for screw retained crowns. Therefore, if an abutment is received then a screw retained crown submitted, it will be automatically denied. Abutments are not needed for crowns coded as D6065, 6066, 6067, 6075, 6076, 6077, 6082, 6083, 6084, 6086, 6087, 6088, 6098, 6099, 6102, 6131, 6122, 6123.
