When your PGID goes live with Denticon, current ADA codes are included in your account. Additional non-ADA codes (termed Z-codes by Planet DDS) are also included in your account.
Each year the ADA makes changes to Dental Procedure Codes used for services provided. It is up to each organization to consult the current ADA produced, CDT Dental Procedure Code guide book to determine if you need to add, remove, or edit any procedure codes.
If an additional code is desired, click the word “Setup” and choose the “Procedure Codes” and “Procedure Codes” options from the drop-down box.
Click the Add New Code button to access the Procedure Code Setup screen.
Input the necessary information and if the procedure code is to be added to ALL offices leave the box checked.
Click the Save button.
Please Note:
While the Procedure Code may be entered into the office’s account, ensure the code is available for selection for the office.
