Dental Codes For Procedures 2010 Canad Question On Dental Filling?

Question on dental filling? - dental codes for procedures 2010 canad

What does "3 composite later"? In addition to the insurance case, my dentist asked me to pay up to $ 90. Some of these costs are for free as my insurance. Is it possible that the procedure code may be wrong and my money and insurance money to eat? Just curious. Thank you.

  1. The code refers to a compound (white) filling, 3 surfaces posterior teeth. I hope that the procedure for filling and before filling explained. Posterior composite (white) fillings are usually expensive, and the rest can be covered by your insurance. Call your insurance and ask them.

  2. His confidence was not miscoded. Many insurance companies will not pay for white fillings (composite) on the back teeth, and only pay for amalgam (silver fillings) in the teeth. So, when a composite was used, the lower the insurance rates when used as a blend, because it is cheaper.
