Maximizing Insurance Reimbursement Success for Prosthodontists

As specialists in tooth replacement and reconstruction, prosthodontists perform a highly skilled set of procedures to restore optimal oral function and aesthetics. However, getting properly reimbursed for these complex services requires in-depth knowledge of dental billing and coding. This is where our dedicated prosthodontics billing experts can help. With robust expertise in CDT codes, payer policies, authorization protocols, and claim submission guidelines specific to prosthodontics, we handle the entire billing process to ensure you receive timely and accurate insurance reimbursements.

What We Offer

Correct Coding for All Procedures
We accurately code for services ranging from crowns and bridges to partial/full dentures, implants, occlusal guards, TMJ therapy, and maxillofacial prosthetics. Our coding optimizes reimbursement for:

  • Initial prosthodontics exam and assessment
  • Radiographs, oral scans, and diagnostic casts
  • Teeth extractions and bone grafting
  • Implant placement surgery
  • Implant-supported prosthetics like crowns, bridges, and dentures
  • Follow-up prosthodontics care and repairs

Managing Pre-Authorizations and Eligibility
We verify dental insurance eligibility upfront and obtain any necessary pre-approvals for upcoming treatment, such as:

  • Multi-stage implant placement plans
  • Full mouth reconstruction
  • Orthodontic procedures as part of rehabilitation
  • Maxillofacial prosthetics like obturators
  • This prevents surprise claim denials so you can focus on patient care.

Handling Claim Submission, Follow-Up and Resolving Issues
We flawlessly complete claim forms with all required details and submit them electronically to insurers to expedite processing. Our team rigorously follows up on any pending, denied, or underpaid claims – identifying reasons, appealing erroneous denials, and solving problems until your practice gets paid correctly.
