Rose Nierman helps to decode some coding issues on your medical-billing journey.
Rose Nierman offers tips on beginning your medical-billing journey with the right tools
Begin your medical-billing journey with the right tools, starting with International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes. A checklist of ICD-10 codes helps document conditions, symptoms, and diseases. During your exam, document conditions such as bone atrophy, jaw pain, osteitis, or difficulty masticating, and then assign an appropriate ICD code.
Medical insurance may consider the following services as medically necessary:
- CBCT, panorex, or tomography
- Screening exams
- Bone grafts and implants
- Third molars and surgical extractions
- Oral infection or cysts
- Sleep apnea appliances
- TMJ appliances
- Accidents to teeth
- Mucositis and stomatitis
