The Challenge

Dental and medical insurance don't speak the same language.

Dental claims use CDT codes and depend on frequency limits, annual maximums and waiting periods. Some treatments, such as oral surgery, trauma and sleep apnea appliances, may also be billable to the patient's medical plan using CPT and ICD-10 codes.

Getting that right means more covered treatment for patients and fewer write-offs for your practice.

  • Missing X-rays and narratives
  • Medical cross-coding opportunities
  • Coordination of benefits

FAQs

Dentistry questions, answered

Can you bill dental procedures to medical insurance?

When treatment is medically necessary, such as certain oral surgery, trauma care or oral appliances for sleep apnea, we cross-code it to CPT and ICD-10 and bill the patient's medical plan.

Do you verify dental benefits before appointments?

Yes. We check eligibility, frequencies, remaining maximums and waiting periods so your team can present accurate treatment estimates.

How do you prevent claims from being pended?

We attach the X-rays, periodontal charts and narratives each payer needs, so claims don't stall waiting for information.

Do you handle secondary insurance?

Yes. We coordinate benefits and bill primary and secondary dental and medical plans in the correct order.
