About this title

Synopsis

Get paid faster and keep more detailed patient records with CDT 2020: Dental Procedure Codes. New and revised codes fill in the coding gaps, which leads to quicker reimbursements and more accurate record keeping. CDT 2020 is the most up-to-date coding resource and the only HIPAA-recognized code set for dentistry. 

2020 code changes include: 

• 37 new codes
• 5 revised codes
• 6 deleted codes

The new and revised codes reinforce the connection between oral health and overall health, help with assessing a patient's health via measurement of salivary flow, and assist with case management of patients with special healthcare needs. Codes are organized into 12 categories of service with full color charts and diagrams throughout, in spiral bound format for easy searching. 

New in the 2020 edition: 

• Online access to the e-Book
• A chapter on ICD-10-CM codes

CDT 2020 codes go into effect on January 1, 2020 - don't risk rejected claims by using outdated codes.
