The 800 page Complete Coding Resource Manual is the front desks personal
security blanket.
Obviously, with 800+ pages there is a wealth of
information. This is the compiled wisdom of Dr Webb's years of
experience with coding. In fact, it started out as his own office
manual. It is now the foundation of your coding resources. Here's
a list of some of the major areas:
How to communicate with the patient. Which would YOU
buy most readily - a prophylactic (condom) or did you say prophylaxis? -
or clean breath and sparkling teeth? See, it matters.
How the ADA describes it.
What will Delta Dental do with it? If it's denied you
can charge the patient and if its disallowed, you can't. Do you know
which codes are denied versus disallowed?
Coding advice, short-cuts, alternatives, warnings,
suggestions.
If a chart or form is very often involved, it likely
is the next page in the book, behind the code number that it references.
Can this code be billed to medical? ...and a lot
more...
