Unlocking Dental Revenue: Mastering the Art and Science of Accurate Coding

Dental coding can be defined as the lifeblood of revenue cycle management, helping to translate oral surgery or diagnosis into codes accurately for correct billing or reimbursement. It is also one of the most complicated subjects, often requiring precise knowledge and expertise to avoid denial of claims and compliance issues.

MCB makes the process of dental billing coding easy by examining each claim thoroughly for speciality-specific coding that would enhance clinical documentation. Certified coders sift through dentist notes and medical records, assign appropriate dental insurance codes, and create clean claims for prompt processing by insurance. This optimizes the reimbursement process while maintaining adherence to industry regulations, giving dental practices peace of mind to concentrate on patient care and not administrative penalties.

How Our Expert Coders Work

  • When a patient comes to see a dentist, all the treatment is recorded in a patient chart.
  • Notes written in a form are carefully reviewed by our certified coders and converted into dental codes for billing.
  • Our coder ensures that all relevant details, including dental and medical procedure codes, are captured correctly.
  • The verification is completed, and then the claim is submitted by the biller to the insurance company for processing and payment.
  • After claim submission, the processing of payments begins based on approved coverage and billing of the claimant.
  • Upon receipt of payment, the biller posts to the patient's account; if there are denials, our certified coders analyze the denial reason codes, take corrective act accordingly, and resubmit the claim for approval.
