What portion of the costs of Brush Biopsy does Delta Dental cover?
Delta Dental fully covers the dentists fee, up to the maximum plan allowance for CDT code 7288, to perform the brush biopsy and collect the tissue sample. The level of coverage is determined by the groups plan design (100 percent for state employees) and will often be the same as other oral surgery procedures, such as a scalpel biopsy. Generally, the lab fee is covered by the patients medical plan. However, the patient is encouraged to contact the medical carrier for confirmation of coverage.
