It is dental ninety-eight percent is dental insurance plans lungs and heart and brain and everything else and so in one way you learned the mechanics of the coding but not the specifics of dental coding now medical insurance is coming more and more one thing is we're seeing more and more.
Plans require if it's dental insurance plans surgical extractions then the dental plan says hey that's got to go to medical first get a rejection and then we'll pay for it and a lot of dental teams just don't know how to accomplish that sleep apnea is virtually automatically done .
If you know what you're doing with medical insurance but one of the problems with medical insurance is so many people have we're even seeing deductibles so while they might pay for sleep apnea soon the proper MD signs off on it sleep position.]
We don't see it paid a lot of times in cases because simply the deductible has not been met but things in our book we cover everything from newborn frenectomy z-- which are paid almost every time you can do it with a soft tissue laser take seconds to do the UH per seconds.
The Lord about bucks there upper and lower combined that's paid and it's generally paid because Mama's just got out of the hospital and she sat Seifer deductible and so we see those foreign activities paying we're seeing a lot of pediatric dentists doing that and some GPS doing that now what about submitting TMJ.
What about submitting beam and so forth now come beam is only going to be paid if it's got an Associated procedure so in other words just to say I'm going to fill out a cone beam and send that into medical I'm doing dental here.
I'm doing these implants and stuff and medicals not going to pay for it I'll just put down some cone beam codes and get paid it doesn't work that way and also you've got a predetermination with medical unless it's an emergency you've got to put things in before.
The fact before you do it and so on the medical side the cone beam has got to be associated with the proper procedures that qualify so if I've got a carcinoma I've got a cancer in the jowl or something like that is it coming going
