CDT 2019: Dental Procedure Codes

<p><strong>CDT 2019: Dental Procedure Codes</strong>, developed and published by the American Dental Association, is the most up-to-date coding resource and only HIPAA-recognized code set for dentistry. The new 2019 edition includes 15 new codes, 5 revised codes, and 4 deleted codes.</p> <p>Changes include delivery of non-opioid drugs for pain management, measuring and documenting glucose levels just prior to a procedure, use of translation services, and more. This resource is organized into twelve categories of service with complete descriptors.</p> <p>Accurate CDT codes are critical for avoiding rejected claims, but codes are used for more than claims reimbursement. Since each code consistently records a service that was delivered, practitioners can build a thorough history of patient visits and treatment plans. This documentation may also protect practitioners in case questions arise about treatment that was rendered.</p> <p>Don't leave compliance in the hands of incomplete coding databases - <strong>CDT 2019: Dental Procedure Codes</strong> from the ADA is the resource you can trust for official CDT documentation.</p>
