Identified Documentation
Concern:
Procedure code D1206 was billed
for fluoride varnish, while the
clinical note indicates that
fluoride gel was applied. This
discrepancy could present billing
compliance issues.
Recommended Correction: Update
the
documentation to reflect that
fluoride varnish was used if that
was the case, or change the billed
procedure code to D1208 if
fluoride gel was actually applied.
All other procedures are
appropriately documented and
compliant.

Reason for Visit: Treatment Chief Complaint: No complaints reported Accompanying Adult: Mother Parent/Guardian Present During Treatment: Yes Patient Identification: Confirmed via parent/guardian verification of name and date of birth and by checking ID Interpreter Required: No Medical History: Reviewed and confirmed as current and accurate with parent/guardian Premedication: Not required Consent and Treatment Discussion: The dentist discussed the proposed treatment, including potential benefits, risks, and available alternatives (including no treatment), with the parent/guardian. Written consent was obtained, and an opportunity to ask questions was provided. Treatment Verification: Dental record reviewed to ensure the correct procedure and site were identified prior to initiating treatment. Topical Anesthetic: Not used Local Anesthesia: Not administered Treatment Narrative: The patient arrived for scheduled placement of crowns and strip crown fillings. The parent was informed that the patient would need to remain still for the duration of the procedure. The dental assistant noted that the patient was restless and had difficulty remaining still even prior to starting treatment. This behavior was consistent with prior visit records indicating challenges with cooperation. Isodry was placed successfully with patient cooperation. However, the patient continued to move excessively. Upon attempted administration of local anesthesia, the patient became increasingly uncooperative—raising hands, making sudden movements, and exhibiting behavior that posed safety concerns. Due to the ongoing disruptive behavior and safety risks, it was determined that further treatment could not continue and that sedation would be recommended for future appointments. The guardian understood and agreed with the recommendation.
Evaluation: Needs Correction
IdentifiedIssues:
Code D9230 (nitrous
oxide/analgesia) was billed, but
the procedure note lacks required
documentation to support its use.
There is no mention of nasal hood
placement, oxygen or nitrous oxide
delivery, duration of
administration, or confirmation of
the procedure being carried out.
SuggestedFix::
Update the Procedure Note or Group
Note to include: Placement of
nasal hood Start and end times or
duration of nitrous oxide delivery
(e.g., 3 minutes) Oxygen flow rate
and nitrous mix Confirmation that
the procedure was completed as
intended This added detail is
necessary to comply with billing
criteria for D9230. No other
documentation or billing issues
were found.
