What D4260 means
Dentists may use D4260 for a service within the D4000-D4999 periodontics code family. Check your EOB and ask the office to explain the specific procedure before paying.
What to check before you pay
- • Confirm the code on the bill matches the code on the EOB.
- • Check whether insurance allowed the charge, denied it, or downcoded it.
- • Compare the provider's billed charge to the negotiated or allowed amount.
- • Ask the office for the clinical reason if the code does not match what you remember receiving.
- • Periodontal codes often require charting, pocket depths, bleeding points, and radiographic support.
