Dental billing is submitting and tracking dental services rendered to patients. The goal of billing is to ensure that patients are billed correctly for their services and that insurance companies are billed for the services their members receive. The dental office’s billing staff is responsible for submitting claims to insurance companies, following up on claims, and issuing patient statements.

The main difference between dental and medical billing is that medical billing codes are based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), while dental billing codes are based on the American Dental Association’s Current Dental Terminology (CDT). In addition, medical insurance plans are often broader than dental insurance plans, covering a more comprehensive range of services.

The ADA has created an easy-to-follow list of all 760 unique dental codes.

There are a few key reasons to get dental billing services:

• To ensure accurate and timely billing
• To maximize reimbursement
• To reduce the administrative burden on your staff

The cost of billing services can vary widely, depending on the size and complexity of your practice, the level of service you require, and the billing company’s overhead costs. More complex practices may need to pay more for customised or advanced services.
