Recommended for: Everyone
In our digital age the clinical team is often responsible for entering the dental work completed in the operatories. Many assistants and hygienists are not given updated training in this area. This course will prepare your administrative team, along with your hygienists and/or dental assistants, to properly code the work they have done. Don’t let fraud happen to you.
Learning Objectives:
- How the codes are broken down in the code book.
- Where to find the correct code for the work you have done.
- Nuances to the codes – it’s the little things that can make a difference.
- Periodontal codes and rules that need to be followed.
- What documentation is necessary for insurance payment.
You and your team will come away from this training with an understanding of where to find the proper code for the work that has been done. There will also be an introduction to new codes and when to use them.
