Try to submit my CEUs but it says I don't have a login? Please help, thanks!
Admin July 20, 2016 11:24 am
You may only submit CE's in your members dashboard, please login to your dashboard. If you have a fourth tab that appears stating CEU you are eligible to submit if no tab appears you are not eligible to submit CE's at this time or you have acquired the correct amount of CE's for the year.

1. Can a bill be submitted to a dental insurance for co-pay payment after claim was paid by medical insurance. 2. If so, naturally we would need to change the billing code from medical to dental. COrrect. Ex. TMJ appliance 21089 medical to D7880 . Thank you.
Admin July 12, 2016 2:24 pm
Yes, you may bill dental as a secondary carrier to the medical plan payment. You will need to change the code on the dental claim form and submit the EOB from medical along with stating the code description of CPT code in box 35 of the ADA claim form
