Correct CDT coding of dental insurance claims
Every 2 years the American Dental Association makes adjustments to the CDT codes based on recommendations from the Code Revision Committee (representing both ADA and insurance companies) so it’s necessary for your office to stay current. The most up-dated version, CDT-2005, is effective for services provided on or after January 1, 2005 and has been designated by the Federal Government as the national standard for reporting dental services. (Offices submitting claims electronically must use CDT-2005 but some insurance companies will accept prior versions on their paper claims).
Our suggestion is that at least every two years, after the new codes have become effective (CDT-2007 becomes official on January 1, 2007) you and your insurance staff should take a comprehensive course to bring you up to date with any changes.
