Periodic Oral Evaluation

Louisiana rates for HCPCS D0120

A routine check-up exam for a patient who has already been seen by the dental practice, usually done at recall visits every so often. The dentist checks for new cavities, gum changes, and overall oral health, and compares findings to prior visits. It is shorter than a full first-time evaluation since the patient's history is already on file.
