Radiographic Submission Requirements 
Whenever a participating dentist submits a claim that includes any combination of intraoral films whose combined fee equals or is greater than a complete series (D0210), the fee allowed will be limited to that of a complete series. Also, a panoramic film submitted together with supplemental radiographs will be handled in the same manner.

If a participating or non-participating dentist submits eight or more intraoral films and/or a panoramic radiograph with supplemental bitewings or periapical films, the dentist must submit a brief narrative as to the reason for taking the radiograph and also identify the tooth numbers of the periapical films if the radiographs are not part of a complete series or are not intended to function as a complete series. Delta Dental will consider that supplemental information in determining whether the x-rays will be subject to the limitations for individual x-rays rather than for a complete series.
