D2750: Porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, high noble
A crown with a porcelain outside over a high noble (precious) metal base.
Billing notes
- Same documentation and replacement rules as other crowns.
- Bill the metal actually used: plans pay noble, high noble and base metal crowns at different rates.
For how plans pay this kind of service, typical limits and what to check before quoting, read the crowns billing guide.
This is how plans usually handle this code, not how every plan does. The patient's own plan documents and the insurer decide what's paid.

The code says what was done; the plan decides what D2750 pays. Tabruns reads the coverage, deductible, yearly maximum, waiting periods and frequency limits from the insurer's portal and works out what the patient owes. Patient details stay on the office computer.
