The American Dental Association recently approved the addition of a new procedure/billing code for caries detection, providing dentists with the ability to bill using this procedure.
The code was unanimously approved by the ADA Code Maintenance Committee Meeting in March, according to a press release. It will be published in the ADA Dental Procedure Code Book.
The new code takes effect January 1, 2017. Examination with caries detection devices like The Canary System from Quantum Dental Technologies will be covered under this procedure code.
