Using ICD-10-CM on Dental Claim forms.
New Coding Rues have also made a big Change.
Starting in 2024, Medicaid, Medicare, and Veterans Affairs (VA) will require dental services to use ICD-10 codes for billing and documentation12. This change aims to standardize the coding process, improve accuracy in billing, and ensure better tracking of dental health services.
The updated ICD-10 codes will be effective from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 202534. This means that all dental procedures covered under these programs will need to be coded using the appropriate ICD-10 codes during this period.
All of the plans include the Medicare Advantage plans that provide dental care. Starting January 1, 2025, you will need to include an ICD-10 code on the dental claim form (837D). This is particularly important to know since payments will not be sent without the proper diagnostic codes.
