Have your claims been denied because of missing or incorrect codes for procedures? Two of the most important code sets are the CDT (Current Dental Terminology) and ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification). These code sets must be used correctly to report procedures on dental claims for reimbursement. Because dentistry and healthcare are ever-changing, the CDT code set is updated annually. This course will update attendees on recent code changes, why these changes were made, and how your practice is affected. The ICD-10-CM is a code set used to prove medical necessity. Many plans such as Medicare Advantage, Affordable Care Act (ACA), and Medicaid plans are requiring the application of ICD-10-CM codes on the dental claim. Some payers will require a diagnosis code for certain procedures such as bone grafting. This course will help attendees correctly select, apply, and document the necessary codes for a successful dental claim submission.

After this course attendees will be able to:
  • Learn how to document for specificity 
  • Select the correct CDT and ICD-10-CM codes
  • Apply ICD-10-CM codes to a dental claim form
  • Discuss recent code changes and how your practice is affected
This course is also offered on Saturday, 1:00 - 4:00 pm, 638SE
Recommended Audience: Assistant, Dentist, Hygienist, Office
