Dental Medical Billing Services

Many dental procedures are actually covered by medical insurance — but only if they're cross-coded correctly. We handle dental billing and medical-dental cross-coding so your office collects what it's owed.

We handle dental billing end to end, including the medical cross-coding that most dental offices leave on the table. When a procedure is medically necessary — oral surgery, trauma, TMJ, sleep apnea — it can be billed to the patient's medical plan with the right CPT, ICD-10, and documentation, not just CDT.

Dental billing we handle

The dental office leak. Procedures like biopsies, TMJ treatment, sleep appliances, and surgical extractions are often reimbursable by medical insurance — but dental staff aren't trained to cross-code them. That's recoverable revenue we capture.

Why dental practices lose revenue

The usual losses: medically necessary procedures billed only to dental (or written off), missing medical prior authorization, wrong CPT/ICD-10 linkage on cross-coded claims, and no appeal when medical denies. Cross-coding expertise turns these into paid claims.

Dental billing FAQs

Can dental procedures be billed to medical insurance?

Yes — when they are medically necessary. Oral surgery, biopsies, trauma, TMJ treatment, and sleep apnea appliances are commonly reimbursable by medical plans when cross-coded correctly with CPT and ICD-10.

What is medical-dental cross-coding?

It is translating a dental (CDT) procedure into the medical codes (CPT/ICD-10) a medical payer requires, with supporting documentation, so a medically necessary dental procedure can be billed to medical insurance.

Do you also handle standard dental claims?

Yes. We manage routine CDT dental claims and dental-plan submission alongside medical cross-coding, so your office has one team for both.

How quickly will we see results?

Most dental offices see recovered revenue from cross-coding and cleaner submissions within the first one to two billing cycles.
