The AAOMS Coding for Implants and Bone Grafts course is designed for OMSs and their professional staff to implement correct coding initiatives for reporting bone grafts and implants and apply these guidelines to real-life coding scenarios. This course will review processes for verifying coverage with payers, discuss stages of the digital workflow, provide coding tips using both CDT and CPT code sets and apply appropriate coding guidelines for procedures relating to bone grafting and implants.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify steps to determine patient benefits and recognize coverage parameters.
- Define bone graft and implant procedure codes, nomenclature and descriptors.
- Compare other separately reportable codes to be used in conjunction with bone graft and implant procedures.
- Discuss coding options for pre-procedural diagnostic services.
- Analyze real-life OMS coding scenarios while applying the appropriate codes for CDT and CPT.
Completion of this course requires current CPT and CDT coding books. You will need your CPT and CDT coding books to complete the clinical scenarios at the end of the course.

Once an extension is granted, access will expire upon course completion OR at the end of the 30-day extension period.
