Dental - Medical Cross Codin - Webinar By mentorhealth

(bit.ly)

Why you should attend: Dentistry today is quickly becoming the field of dental medicine. As part of this paradigm shift, dental practices now have the opportunity to help their patients more easily afford those dental procedures that are medically necessary. In addition, more and more dental insurance carriers are suspending payment on dental claims until the procedures are first filed with the patients' medical plans. Most dental practices have no idea of how to submit a medical claim and, if the medical claim is not filed, how will the patient receive any benefits?

This webinar will provide the basics of medical coding and will take away the difficulty of implementing a cross coding system. By understanding the medical coding systems, dental practices will be able to submit these claims correctly and help to obtain plan benefits for their patients. Dental practices are familiar with working with one coding system, procedure codes, but after attending this webinar, dental practices will be familiar with the multiple coding systems of medical insurance. Attendees will learn that they probably already have the tools to begin cross coding right away and, if they don't have the software, suggestions will be made on how to obtain medical coding software at an inexpensive price. The webinar will also help dental practices understand what types of procedures are medically necessary and why implementing medical coding can both help the patient and also really help the practice with greater case acceptance and an increased bottom line.
