The AAOMS Coding Certificate Program (CCP) consists of three courses: Basic Coding for OMS, Beyond the Basics Coding for OMS and OMS Billing. The CCP Bundle allows participants to register for all three online courses in a single transaction.

The online OMS Billing is Level III of the Coding Certificate Program (CCP). It focuses on documentation guidelines, predetermination tips, claims filing, appeal tips as well as fraud and abuse. Accurate coding and billing services must be a priority for all OMSs and their staff due to increased fraud and abuse investigations stemming from strict billing guidelines and inaccurate coding.

The OMS Coding Essentials: Medical and Dental Procedures and Diagnoses is an intermediate-level course designed to help OMS practices optimize reimbursement through focused instruction on procedural coding. The course will provide comprehensive guidance on coding for the full scope of OMS procedures, including medical and dental services, coding complications and medical record documentation. Attendees also will deepen their understanding of global surgical packages, National Correct Codin Initiative (NCCI) edits and the appropriate use of surgical modifiers. In addition to coding assistance for bone grafting, fractures, extractions and implants, this course offers insights into coding dentoalveolar procedures such as surgical exposure and uprighting, soft-tissue procedures, incision and drainage, cleft palate/lip procedures, wound debridement and repairs. The course also will explore ICD-10-CM coding principles related to neoplasms, including coding for sequelae, complications and Z codes. Instruction will cover the new 2026 CDT coding updates for incisional biopsies, photobiomodulation therapy and an in-depth review of revisions made to the CDT anesthesia codes along with the latest Medicare policy updates impacting dental coverage. Additionally, the course addresses pathology-related coding, with an emphasis on accurate reporting of biopsy procedures, neoplasm classification and the documentation required to support medical necessity. Instruction also is provided on E/M coding and documentation guidelines. Code: CW26

This dynamic online training program provides the basics of the ICD-10-CM coding system. In this course, participants will learn about the history, structure and format of ICD-10-CM. In addition, participants will learn how to apply correct coding initiatives and guidelines to OMS diagnostic code assignment. Code: IC26

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.
