Stainless Steel CrownsĮffective, the time limitation for stainless steel crowns (D2930, D2931) for children age 20 and below has been updated to 2 years. Necessary modifications to reflect this change will be made to the Delta Dental Smiles Provider Manual and distributed to all participating dentists. Delta Dental is committed to continuing to work with DHS in the coming months to address this additional code. However, DHS has further advised that a D2929 cannot be billed under the current plan. The Delta Dental Smiles member cannot be billed for the difference in cost. "D2929 - Prefabricated porcelain/ceramic crown, primary tooth, or D2934, prefabricated esthetic coated stainless steel crown, primary tooth, may be performed and submitted, but will be alternated and covered as a D2930, prefabricated stainless steel crown, primary tooth."ĭHS has advised Delta Dental that a D2934 can be billed and paid at the D2930 rate.

Posterior Compositesĭelta Dental will continue the previous approach taken by DHS with respect to posterior composites. Questions about payments for posterior composites, crowns and dentures continue going into the new managed care Medicaid dental program.
