Unlock Medical Insurance Reimbursement with Efficient Medical-Dental Cross-Coding Services at StafGo Health
Many complex procedures performed in dental offices qualify for medical insurance billing if they are documented and coded correctly, including cone beam CT scans, surgical extractions, and oral appliance therapy. Our certified coders bridge the gap between CDT codes and ICD-10/CPT/HCPCS, which opens collection opportunities from medical insurances for your dental practice.
Our Medical-dental Cross Coding Services Include
ICD-10 Diagnosis Coding
We assign accurate ICD-10 codes to the dental diagnosis, such as M26.60—Temporomandibular joint disorder, G47.33—Obstructive sleep apnea, S02.5—Fracture of tooth (traumatic), dental caries (K02), periodontitis (K05), and dental examinations (Z01.20 and Z01.21), and others.
HCPCS Medical Procedure Coding
Our expert dental coders translate the dental procedures into accurate CPT codes. We efficiently handle all types of CPT codes like 70486—CT, maxillofacial area (CBCT); 21085—oral appliance for sleep apnea; 41899—Unlisted procedure, dentoalveolar; etc.
Improving the Clinical Documentation
Our team reviews the clinical documentation thoroughly and suggests modifications if required to increase the chances of accurate insurance payment.
Medical Claim Creation and Submission
Our team prepares the CMS-1500 for medical insurances and submits the claims on time (within 24-48 hours) with proper documentation to the eligible payers.
Consistent Quality Check with Daily Audits
We have an audit team that does a second level of review before the claim is actually submitted to the insurance to avoid unnecessary rejections.
Pre-authorization and Letter of Medical Necessity
We also offer prior authorization services and help create LMNs in order to justify the services rendered, like Oral Appliance Therapy for OSA, Dental surgeries related to systemic infection or trauma, and others.
