Dentistry is the study, prevention, diagnostics,
and cure of the diseases or disorders that relate
to teeth or oral health. Twice a year, It is
advised to visit the dentist. A dental practice
plays a vital role to provide the best oral care
to people. In the United States, a majority of
people have insurance cover for dental
treatments. Dental Medical Billing and Coding are
related to dental care. In this article, we will
understand why a dental practice should take the
help of a skilled Dental Billing Services
provider. What Is Dental Billing? When a dentist
provides service to a patient he receives a set
of fees. The dentist receives this reimbursement
for the complete treatment partly or in full from
the patient or an insurance company. In laymans
terms, this process to get the payment from the
patient and insurance company is known as Dental
Billing Process. However, unlike medical billing
dental billing is a time-consuming affair.
Moreover, Dental Insurance Billing is a complex
process, especially the dental coding one. What
Is Dental Coding? As discussed earlier, Dental
Coding is comparatively more complex than medical
billing coding. In fact, every step right from
diagnostics to the treatment of diseases related
to teeth has specific codes assigned to them.
These codes start with the letter D followed by
the four digits, for example D1351 code is for
sealants while the code D1110 to D1120 is related
to the service of prophylaxis. In this manner, a
code is assigned for the specific dental
services. It is very important to have an
exhaustive knowledge about codes so that the
insurance company is billed with the right code.
