New Dental Specialty Codes for Medicare

Providers self-designate their Medicare specialty on the Medicare enrollment application (CMS 855 I or CMS 855-0). The provider specialty code describes the specific/unique types of service rendered.

CMS has established new providers, especially codes for dentists.

E3 – Dental Anesthesiology

E4 – Dental Public Health

E5 – Endodontics

E6 – Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology

E7 – Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology

E9 – Oral Medicine

F1 – Orofacial Pain

F2 – Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics

F3 – Pediatric Dentistry

F4 – Periodontics

F5 – Prosthodontics

You must use the code that matches your treatment specialty for all treatments, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans.

There are many more changes and we will be teaching all of it on line with a live web program. Get ready for action…………..
