Follow-Up Problem Evaluation

Alaska rates for HCPCS D0170

A short follow-up visit to check on a specific problem the dentist has already been treating or watching, such as reassessing a healing area or symptom that hasn't fully resolved. It is not used for a routine check-up or for checking healing right after a surgical procedure, which is handled separately. It's a targeted recheck rather than a full exam.
