Are all claims submitted on the 2012 ADA Dental Claim Form?

Answer

The majority of payers accept the current 2012 ADA Dental Claim Form and may require the use of diagnoses (ICD) codes when reporting dental services for reimbursement under the ACA plan. However, some payers may require that dental services be reported on a CMS-1500 (02-12) Medical Claim Form. Keep in mind, the processing of dental procedures under the medical plan is new to payers and providers, so it is best to confirm benefits and determine if the payer accepts CDT codes reported on the 2012 ADA Dental Claim Form.
