Open Question: Dental billing procedures for core buildup?
Home >All Categories > Health >Dental >Open Question
Winter Member since:May 23, 2011Total points:95 (Level 1)I work the front desk for a dentist. We will charge for a root canal and core build up. Sometimes, only if the tooth was broken down real bad, the doctor will have the patient come back for a composite on the tooth also. When I ask him about this he says the composite is a separate procedure from the corebuildup and it is a separate charge. He states that the corebuild up is only the material to seal up the hole he has made to acess the root canal. He doesn't do this all the time. Only when the outside of the tooth is badly decayed. I do not feel as if I should be charging the patient for a composite also. I would think that the composite would be part of the core buildup. Is the dentist making me charge for these procedures properly?Answer QuestionBe the first to answer this question.
