Lets back up here.
CDT codes are now annual.
up to 2003 it was CDT-3
2004 it was CDT-4
2005 it is CDT-5
want to bet on next year???

As long as the office does not accept assignment the are not bound by
HIPPA with respect to billing style and use of codes.
Unless the industry stays quiet and lets them change that.
The insurance company has an ethical obligation to help their client
with claim submission.
I realize is some states legally that has changed because nobody stood
up for what is right.
When my PMS stops printing claim forms, I will either find a software
that will either macro out the information to a current output or
abandon claim submission altogether. I do not need the aggravation to
be in that loop and I hope more dentists will follow that path. We will
do our best to help the patient with or knowledge but for a lousy $1000
(with deductable and special rules )out of a 7000K or more treatment
plan it becomes more work then benefit.

PS how did you guys get your name to appear vs email in this new google
set-up?
My name disappeared and now the email shows up.
