In keeping with a recent Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services memo regarding access to dental procedures requiring anesthesia, we’ve expanded our RITogether oral health benefits to include the use of dental anesthesia in a professional (office) setting. 

Effective for dates of service beginning July 1, 2024, providers can submit claims for the following procedures using the codes below. (Point32Health will retroactively reprocess impacted claims submitted between the effective date and now.) 

  • D9212 – Trigeminal division block anesthesia
  • D9222 – Deep sedation/general anesthesia, first 15 minutes
  • D9223 – Deep sedation/general anesthesia, each subsequent 15-minute increment
  • D9239 – Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/analgesia, first 15 minutes
  • D9243 – Intravenous moderate (conscious) sedation/analgesia, each subsequent 15-minute increment

Additional billing details for submitting professional claims can be found within our Oral Surgery Payment Policy. Providers performing dental anesthesia services in a facility should continue to submit claims using CPT Code 41899 as outlined in Point32Health’s Dental Procedures Requiring Hospital/Facility-Based Care Medical Necessity Guidelines.
