Don't You dare bill that to dental insurance -- bill it to medical insurance first!
Let’s be real. Much of the dental care that people receive is actually medical care! Right? If you believe in oral systemics, then you need to get your mind focused on billing medical insurance first ... always! Dental care for the medical health of the body is medical care that absolutely and always must be billed first to the patient’s medical insurance. Stop wasting your time and your patients’ limited dental benefits trying to get payments from their dental insurance with their $1000 annual limits and their corrected /adjusted fees. Bill medical insurance first, where there are often no limits and fewer adjustments. This is the only way to practice!

Medically Necessary Coding-Documentation
Dental implants have become standard of care in dentistry. Implants provide excellent
value and can be a terrific investment in long-term oral and systemic health. They provide an
example of the importance of documentation to support medical necessity whether filing dental
and medical claims. Many factors play into the decision to have implants. Technology, patient
financing and coding expertise are active partners on the initial decision. This doesn’t end with
the placement of implants. They require regular maintenance and proper home care for
optimal success. Patients need to make an investment not once but over and over to maintain
health.
