About this episode
Outlines the Current Dental Terminology Code maintained by the American Dental Association (ADA) for reporting dental procedures. The primary focus is the Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature (CDT Code), organized into twelve categories of service from Diagnostic (D0100–D0999) through Adjunctive General Services (D9000–D9999). It details the structure of a procedure code entry, including the alphanumeric code, nomenclature, and descriptor, and explicitly notes changes effective for the 2021 period, such as new additions for COVID-19 related antigen and antibody testing codes. Additionally, the document includes an extensive list of Select ICD-10-CM Codes Applicable to Dentistry to aid practitioners in documenting diagnoses for dental encounters and claims submission. The source emphasizes that the codes are developed by the ADA’s Council on Dental Benefit Programs and provides administrative information regarding copyright and licensing.
