All oral pathology services, be they for the clinical services involved in evaluating a patient, or for the microscopic diagnosis of oral biopsies and cytologic smears are covered by medical insurance, using medical procedure codes. In some instances, where medical insurance isnt available, dental procedure codes exist which can be used for filing with dental insurance. Many surgical pathology reports supply the ICD diagnosis code necessary for proper filing of insurance claims.
