Dental Coding and Billing with Current Dental Terminology

Learn how dental claims, coding, payments, and practice finances work together—so you can support accurate reimbursement, cleaner billing workflows, and stronger revenue performance.

This course provides a structured, end-to-end introduction to dental billing and coding—from foundational concepts and terminology to claims submission, denials, appeals, coordination of benefits, accounts receivable, and revenue cycle reporting.

You’ll build competence across the core code sets used in dentistry (CDT) and medical-dental crossover scenarios (ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II). You’ll also develop practical knowledge of insurance plan structures, patient financial policies, payment posting and reconciliation, and the reporting metrics used to track performance in a dental office.

Along the way, you’ll explore ethical responsibilities, fraud prevention, documentation standards, and a high-level understanding of key privacy and compliance requirements that affect dental billing environments.

This programme connects clinical services, documentation, insurance rules, and financial operations—so learners don’t study coding in isolation.

The curriculum combines:

• Claims workflow mastery: submission, denials, appeals, and coordination of benefits.

• Coding fluency: CDT plus the crossover framework for ICD-10-CM/CPT/HCPCS Level II.

• Financial operations: AR, policies, posting, reconciliation, collections, write-offs.

• Software readiness: EHR and practice management fundamentals (concepts and workflow—not tied to one vendor).

• Compliance mindset: ethics, fraud prevention, confidentiality, documentation standards, and audit awareness.

• Exam preparation: practice-driven review and common pitfalls to avoid.
  

After completing this course, you’ll be equipped to support dental office billing operations by:

• Producing more accurate claims and reducing avoidable errors.

• Handling key reimbursement steps: verification, pre-determinations, appeals, and COB.

• Supporting reliable cash flow using AR discipline, posting/reconciliation, and consistent policies.

• Using reports and metrics to understand performance and identify improvement opportunities.
