If you manage or own an oral surgery practice, you already know billing isn’t just one more task—it’s an entirely different world. Between medical-dental cross coding, high-dollar claims, and pre-auth puzzles, OMFS billing is one of the most complex areas of the dental revenue cycle.
And if you’re relying on a general dental biller or trying to keep it all in-house, you’ve probably already felt the pressure.
Why Surgical Claims Get Rejected More Often
Surgical billing isn’t just harder—it’s different. You’re often working across two systems: dental and medical. That creates extra layers of complexity, like:
- Mixing CPT® and CDT codes in the same case
- Multi-visit surgical treatment plans
- Detailed documentation requirements
- Frequent pre-authorization hurdles
- Coordination between referring providers and surgical teams
One small error in this process can lead to weeks—or months—of payment delays.
You Can’t Wing It With OMFS Billing
We’ve seen it happen too often. A practice’s in-house team is strong on preventive and restorative billing but struggles with surgical coding and cross coding. The result:
- Denied or delayed claims
- Stressed-out staff
- Revenue stuck in AR
