The Dental-Medical Cross-Coding Kit
may be the best source of new, big, money of all the kits.
" Learning how to cross-code dental to medical codes can really
reduce the stress, because the patients love it that you found them some
more money to help with the dental bill.
A Check for several thousand dollars might lessen the office
stress too! Remember the medical annual max is more like a million.
Treatment Codes and Samples?
Several sample forms are filled out for you. Wisdom teeth
extractions, implant placement, night guards, sleep apnea, anything
related to "surgery", evaluations, radiology, diabetic patients...there
are about 210 codes that you can use. Just like dental, you won't use
them all, but the combo you use will bring in thousands of extra
dollars.
YOU MUST USE MEDICAL CODES AND A MEDICAL
FORM. |

We
make it easy to convert dental to medical codes.
The pages have dental codes on the left and the cross-codes for medical
insurance on the right. Dental-Medical cross-coding illustrates that
dentistry needs more codes, so that we can define the treatment.
Diagnostic Codes - ICD-9?The diagnostic codes are there. The treatment codes are there.
Most codes give you the dental code, the medical cross code for
treatment and then a list of possible ICD-9 codes or medical
diagnostic codes. Some don't. There could be hundreds of reasons to
do a panograph, therefore, there is a complete section with
diagnostic codes listed so that you can select the appropriate
reason. For third molar extractions, the reasons (diagnosis) are
few, so they will be listed on the cross-coding page.
Blank Forms? Everything you need is in there. There are blank insurance forms,
just put one on your copier and make as many as you want.
What about medical fees?
There is guidance in
there. Your dental fee lists will be below the UCR used by Medical Insurance
companies. Submit to medical first. The best that can happen is that you
get a big check. The worst that happens is when you don't try. You
know you will fail to get that extra money if you don't even submit.

When Can I
use Medical Codes?
When the procedure is excluded by the
dental insurance, but covered under medical insurance. (EX. Implant
placement, TMJ and others)
When the dental insurance plan refuses
to process the claim until the medical insurance denies coverage
(EX. Wisdom Teeth, etc)
When the dental condition is caused or
complicated by a medical problem. (We are seeing this much more
often now that the link between periodontal diseases and heart
diseases, diabetes, and others have been established. There are more
examples, don't limit yourself.)
When the patient’s condition is
trauma related.
Dental specialists should be using
medical codes all the time; especially for hospital dentistry. (Pedo
and others)
When the patient doesn't have
dental insurance. (Try it, if there is any chance. You have nothing
to lose.)
