    Can anyone a CDT code for “Facility Fee” reimbursement under ADA compliance standards?
    Due to limitations within the CDT code structure, the concept of a Professional and technical fee has not gotten the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, anesthesia reimbursements and cases for medically necessary Dentistry, not OMF, are not payable...

    We use code D5865 for a complete mandibular overdenture, but it only pays about $1000. Our cost is about $4000. Is there a different code we are supposed to use or is there an additional code that I should use?
    Julia March 23, 2023 1:17 pm
    The ADA gives instructions on coding for overdenture. It's not only the overdenture but also each precision attachment that you would code for. Hope that helps! https://www.ada.org/-/media/project/ada-organization/ada/ada-org/files/publications/cdt/cdt_overdenturecodingguidance_naturaltoothborneandimplantborneprostheses_2020nov.pdf
