Description

This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds understand and apply dental medical billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) in real-world practice settings. With a strong focus on HIPAA, HITECH, Business Associate Agreements (BAA), Healthcare IT, data protection, data safety, insurance rules, and compliance, you’ll learn how to complete ADA claim forms (J430D/2019), CDT coding, payer requirements, attachments, and software workflows that drive clean claims and faster reimbursements.

You’ll learn how dental claims flow from patient registration through eligibility, CDT procedure coding, medical-dental crossover, and documentation that payers accept the first time. The course includes step-by-step guidance on subscriber/payer data, treatment location and dentist information, services rendered, attachments, and follow-up. We’ll connect each step to HIPAA/HITECH safeguards, BAAs, and Healthcare IT practices to keep data secure and audit-ready.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, practical labs, and realistic examples from EOBs/ERAs, clinical notes, X-rays, and perio charts to reinforce learning. No prior dental knowledge is needed.
