My provider likes to use "poor dentition" in his assessment as a billable diagnosis, however there is not really a good code to select. Sometimes he is referring to a patient who is missing teeth due to poor oral hygiene, sometimes it is a patient with alot of tooth decay, in this case, he is referring to a patient with loose wisdom teeth. Can anyone help me find a good NOS code for "poor dentition" and should I even be coding it as a dx? This is a family practice. Thanks
In t his case I am thinking 525.8, any thoughts?
