What is dental billing?
Dental billing is the process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies to receive payment for services rendered by a dental care provider.
How does dental billing differ from medical billing?
While both processes involve submitting claims to insurance companies, dental billing often requires different coding systems and follows different regulations. Dental billing is specific to dental procedures and uses codes from the Current Dental Terminology (CDT), whereas medical billing uses the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT).
