    Synopsis

    Proper documentation is key to efficient claim processing. Complete and accurate submissions (including proper supporting diagnostics) are processed faster than those that are not, reducing resubmissions that delay adjudication and increase staff frustration. This presentation reviews key sections of the ADA claim form, current CDT codes and appropriate diagnostic narratives.

    Learning Objectives
    1. Identify and describe specific areas where the patient record and its documentation will provide the necessary and relevant information to increase claim processing accuracy and efficiency;
    2. Identify the key areas of the ADA claim form, recognize and apply the appropriate and/or current CDT code for the procedure performed and determine the key diagnostics to be included with the submission; and
    3. Detect and address what additional information to provide in support of the claim submission to increase the accuracy of the claim being processed and/or reduce the need for resubmissions that delay adjudication time.
