Medical vs Dental Coverage
Some oral surgery procedures may be processed through dental insurance, medical insurance, or different workflows depending on the service and applicable coverage.

Tell us about your oral surgery practice, procedures, payer mix, and revenue cycle requirements.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery can sit at the intersection of dental and medical insurance. The applicable payer, procedure, diagnosis, documentation, anesthesia, facility, and code set can all affect the billing pathway.
Some oral surgery procedures may be processed through dental insurance, medical insurance, or different workflows depending on the service and applicable coverage.
Oral surgery billing can require dental CDT coding, medical CPT coding, or coordinated coding workflows based on the service.
Medical claims may require diagnosis coding that accurately connects the patient's condition with the documented procedure.
Operative reports, findings, diagnosis, surgical approach, anesthesia, implants, grafts, and other details can affect coding.
Office, hospital, or ASC settings can create different professional and facility billing workflows for oral surgery procedures.
Coverage, benefits, authorization, documentation, claim forms, and payer processing rules can vary by procedure and insurance plan.
