Check for Service Restrictions While Adding a Procedure

To check for service restrictions by adding a planned or completed procedure:

1. Select the desired tooth/teeth.
2. Click the appropriate button on the palette or use the Services button.

   

3. In the Procedure Details window, complete the fields as required.
4. Click Save.

   

5. If service restrictions apply to the procedure, an alert displays. Review the details of the alert.

   

6. If you determine that a service restriction does not apply to the selected procedure, select the Acknowledged checkbox next to the alert. Or, to acknowledge all alerts for a particular service code, select the Acknowledged All checkbox. Acknowledged alerts will be shaded green.

   

7. Click OK.

If a procedure has unacknowledged service-restriction alerts, it can still be planned; however, the procedure may not be covered by the carrier.
