Description

Due to the paradigm shift in dentistry where it is growing as the field of dental medicine, dental practices are now in a position to help their patients obtain additional benefits from their medical insurance plans for medically necessary dental procedures. This will increase case acceptance and, therefore, profits. However, most dental practices have no idea of how to do this. By understanding the multiple medical code sets and knowing how to complete the medical claim form, dental practices will be more successful with this process. You will also learn that your practice probably already has the tools necessary to implement cross-coding and, if not, you’ll be provided with resources to obtain those tools.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Know why it is so beneficial for dental practices to implement dental-medical cross-coding.

2. Identify what types of dental procedures can be submitted to medical insurance.

3. Understand the importance of learning how to accurately use the medical code sets.

5. Discover the tools available in your dental practice  to complete cross-coded claims.
