Synopsis
Based on several thousand dental practices studied, these common problems were identified: consistent coding errors, clinical protocol issues, potentially fraudulent activities. Coding and fee positioning errors are predictable in today's dental practice. Learn the top coding errors - and how not to make them! You will also receive new, valuable information on some of the "hot" sections of the CDT code, which you can use to identify and "fix" coding problems that lurk in your practice. Most practices can expect legitimate net increases in cash flow immediately by learning how to do it right.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- Identify through predictive error correction, typical coding errors;
- Gain knowledge of clinical protocol sequences; and
- Gain knowledge of fee forgiveness, discounting, multiple fees, etc.
