Insurance Code Editor

Use the Insurance Code editor to create the list of CDT/ADA codes, ICD-9 codes and ICD-10 codes you use for identifying diagnostics and services in your patient folders and on insurance forms. These codes can be linked to your dental procedures to provide efficient and consistent insurance processing.

Open Insurance Codes Editor - Home ribbon bar > Tools section > Editors > Insurance > Insurance Codes. (You can also use the Search field to look for the editor you want to work with.)

Choose Insurance Code Type - Use the options at the top of the window to select whether you want to work with CDT/ADA, ICD-9, or ICD-10 codes.

Edit Existing Record - Your existing list of insurance codes for the selected type appears alpha/numerically by code. You can click a record, then edit the insurance code and description as needed (the default fee column is for your internal reference only). You cannot, however, change the insurance code type (CDT/ADA. ICD-9, or ICD-10) once a record has been created. You may also click a column heading to re-sort your list by that column, and to reverse the sort order.

Create New Record - Be sure the appropriate insurance code type is selected, then click New at the top of the editor window to create a new record. Then, use the empty record at the top of the list to enter the code number, description, and default fee (the default fee column is for your internal reference only).

Save Changes - Click Save in your Quick Access toolbar or File ribbon bar (or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard) to save any changes you have made.
