Unlocking Preventive Potential: Navigating Assessments, ICD-10 Codes & CDT Procedure Documentation

Program Overview
Dental hygienists are integral to providing preventive oral health care. This course delves deeper into assessments that can be performed during a recare appointment, such as imaging, tests, and examinations, to support comprehensive treatment planning. It also focuses on the CDT procedure codes associated with these preventive services and how to document them effectively.

In addition, the course introduces ICD-10 diagnostic codes, which are becoming increasingly required by insurance carriers to demonstrate the medical necessity of treatments and products. Understanding these codes is essential for accurate claim submissions and enhancing documentation practices.
