Adjunct Professor Dental Medical Billing Melbourne, Florida
Training dental team members on finding diagnostic codes to describe the treatment has been a challenge. Dentistry traditionally has done a clinical-provided intra-oral camera and X-rays or CBCT Scan. What comes next is telling the patients what they need, but not how and what the needed treatment provides, without telling the patient, team or insurance companies why this treatment is a medical necessity. However, many oral surgery cases should be submitted to medical. Understanding the order of the diagnostic codes is a skill that can be learned.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:

Diabetes diagnostic codes are combinations codes. so how do we find what the medical combination?. Learn how to communicate with the medical providers of patients.
