Consider using teledentistry to assess your patients for non-emergency consults, as well as for diagnosing emergency situations, before they come into the office.
Delta Dental will accept claims for services delivered through teledentistry. Please submit claims as follows:
- For your patient interaction, use the appropriate evaluation procedure code, such as D0140, D0170 or D0171.
- On a separate line, also submit teledentistry code D9995 for real-time interactions (synchronous) and D9996 for text, photo or other non-live interactions (asynchronous) D0170, D0171.
Under Delta Dental policy, the fees for teledentistry (D9995 and D9996) are considered inclusive in overall patient management and are not billable to the patient. Standard dental policy will apply to the evaluation codes.
To help you find a teledentistry solution, we’ve evaluated HIPAA-compliant tools from six teledentistry companies to help you safely see patients. Free trial periods and exclusive discounts from these companies are available through September 30, 2020.
