Dental Charge Entry

A crown, a filling, and a scaling procedure are all completed on the same visit. If any one of them is entered with the wrong code, a mismatched tooth number, or an outdated fee schedule, the whole claim can bounce back—delaying payment on procedures that were done correctly.

Where Charge Entry Breaks Down

Dental charge entry involves matching clinical notes to the correct CDT codes, tooth numbers, surfaces, and fee schedules for each payer. A single transposed code or missed modifier can trigger a denial, and chasing those down after the fact takes far longer than getting it right the first time. When charge entry is squeezed in between other front-desk tasks, small errors like these are what typically slip through.

What We Handle

• Charge entry from clinical notes and superbills
• CDT code assignment and tooth/surface accuracy checks
• Fee schedule matching by payer and plan
• Multi-procedure and same-day visit entry
• Pre-submission review to catch errors before claims go out
• Daily reconciliation against the day's schedule

Every charge is entered and reviewed before submission, so claims leave your practice accurate the first time.

How It Works

What Changes When You Hand This Off

Fewer claims bounce back for coding errors, and reimbursements arrive faster. Your team spends less time correcting charges after the fact, and your revenue cycle moves smoothly from treatment to payment. Every charge follows the same HIPAA-compliant workflow trusted across Medgeene's dental revenue cycle management services.
