Learn diagnostic coding that will enhance your office and bring you into the wellness practice of adding more referrals from medical providers.
Dental practices can and should help protect patients from dangerous medical conditions. Behaving more like a “Wellness Center” not only changes your relationship with your patients, but your practice can bill for increased wellness benefits through dental insurance and medical insurance – just like oral surgeons have done for decades!

Dental practices can add new diagnostic tools and treatments to support the general health of patients and increase profits. Learn recommended documentation techniques to support diagnostic and treatment decisions, as well as to prevent problems with medical and dental benefit plans.
