New Dental Coding System Improves Reimbursement for Dental Professionals

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2008 -- Dentists and oral surgeons are required to report CDT 2009-2010 codes on dental insurance claims for all services performed on or after January 1, 2009. The new codes will improve reimbursement and reduce audit liability for dental professionals.

In order to be paid by insurance companies dental professionals must submit insurance claims that report the services provided. To facilitate this process, dentists and oral surgeons use a coding system, known as Current Dental Terminology (CDT). Each CDT code defines a specific dental service or procedure. Use of the correct code improves the potential for full reimbursement and also reduces liability, in the form of fines and penalties, in the event of an audit of billing records.

CDT codes are revised every two years by the American Dental Association (ADA) and are mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA. The ADA recently announced the forthcoming publication of Current Dental Terminology 2009-2010. The new codes will be released in October and dental professionals are encouraged to place orders as soon as possible in order to guarantee receipt of the codes before the implementation deadline.

James B. Davis, President of PMIC, a major reseller of CDT, stated "Proper coding is the key to maximizing reimbursement and minimizing audit liability. All dental professionals must make sure that their coding and billing staff is using the most current codes for reporting dental services on insurance claims. Using older versions of these codes after the implementation date can result in lower reimbursement, and even fines and penalties."

An Expert System Powered By Uncertainty
The Artificial Intelligence community sought to understand human intelligence by building computer programs, which exhibited intelligent behavior.

If a patient had a group of symptoms, then she had a particular disease. But, such reasoning required prior knowledge. The programs needed to have the knowledge that the disease exhibited a particular group of symptoms. For the AI community, that vague knowledge residing in the minds of Experts was superior to text book knowledge. So they called the programs, which solved such problems, Expert Sys...
