Can biller make a correction in Doctor's note? For an example: patient is 20+ year old. Medicaid does not pay for Fluoride Treatment. It is not in charges but dentist put in his note fluoride was done. It was put in in error. Can Biller make a correction that fluoride was not done?

NO, a biller can not make a correction in the doctor's note. Any and all corrections must be made by the rendering provider.
