HERNDON, VA - (March. 9, 2000)
-Integral to everything done in a dental practice are the American Dental Associations's (ADA's)
CDT-3 (current dental terminology) codes. Only Dental.PackOnline offers CDT-3 codes as part of
its package. Scheduling and planning are easier because the staff doesn't have to install new
upgrades to implement the code changes into all aspects of their application. Updates to these
alphanumeric codes are transparent to users, ending crashes and downtime and easing
insurance compliance worries.

We know that dentists are likely to do several things more often than others on a day-to-day basis.
To help streamline those processes, Dental.PackOnline offers Usual ADA Codes, making treatment entry
faster and easier. Rather than having to view the entire ADA CDT-3 code list and select individual
codes every time a code needs to be assigned, dentists can select from a much shorter list of codes
most often used in their dental practice. With Dental.PackOnline, each provider in a specific
dental practice has his or her own set of Usual ADA Codes.
Many providers also prefer to use custom codes (in addition to the CDT-3 codes) that are unique to
their dental practice.
Dental.PackOnline enables dentists to create an unlimited number of custom treatment codes defined
in terms common to a specific dental practice. These custom treatment codes can be created using
the industry standard for either dental or medical codes. This feature is especially helpful for
specialists such as oral surgeons, who often submit medical claims and so can save time and money
by using Dental.PackOnline right "out of the box."
An added benefit from Dental.PackOnline enables each provider in a dental practice to have
his orher own set of explo-sion codes, that is, groups of treatment codes that are usually
entered together. Using explosion codes also makes treatment en-try faster and easier-and,
just as important, takes some of the guesswork out of treatment planning for those with limited
dental expertise.
To benefit from greater control over their treatment plans, dentists can use their own full
CDT-3 code list and the fees that correspond to it. Fee schedules include CDT-3 codes, brief
descriptions of the codes, and the treatment fee, including the number of units the treatment
requires. Dental.PackOnline's flexibility offers dentists the option to set one fee schedule
for their entire practice or different fee schedules for each provider or insurance carrier within that practice.
