Medical and Dental Crosswalking: Billing Do's and Don'ts - On Demand Access

Oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures may be submitted to medical insurance, dental insurance, or both– each with distinct coverage, benefits, and billing requirements, including code sets. Accurate coding and billing submission are essential to ensure proper reimbursement and avoid delays or denials. This 90-minute webinar will examine medical and dental coding with a focus on crosswalks for services such as implants, grafts, and anesthesia. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to select the appropriate codes and submit to each type of insurance accurately.
