Limited Problem-Focused Oral Evaluation

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS D0140

A focused examination centered on a specific complaint, such as pain, swelling, or an injury, rather than a full review of the entire mouth. The dentist evaluates the problem area and may take a targeted X-ray to figure out what is going on, often on a same-day or urgent basis. It is not a substitute for a routine or comprehensive check-up.
