What are all the codes that can be billed out for the denture process?

Answer Question
0

For example, there is the impression, the wax up, the try ins (and all of the times it takes to get this right with the lab). By the end of the process, being in network with their insurance causes us to lose out on money when we simply bill out the denture itself. Is there a way to bill out all of the different steps to insurance so that the costs are covered even though the negotiated rate with their insurance is so low?

To my knowledge, there is no way to bill for the lab ( steps involved until denture is complete ) to the insurance. if patient does not show up to pick complete the process, you can bill with a narrative to get some payment ( reimburse for your time and lab fee). I know my current job is billing patients for the lab fee now, even if they have Masshealth dental ( state carrier). I have not see we bill for those with commercial dental insurance though.
