Previously, HCPCS Level II has contained a set of codes with a high-order value of "D" to identify some dental procedures. The final HIPAA transactions and code sets rule states that these D-codes will be dropped from the HCPCS, and that, under HIPAA, CDT codes will be used to identify all dental procedures.
