Needs Correction
Identified Issues:
Procedure code D1206 was billed
for fluoride varnish, while the
clinical note indicates that
fluoride gel was applied. This
discrepancy could present billing
compliance issues.
Suggested Fix:
Update the documentation to reflect that
fluoride varnish was used if that
was the case, or change the billed
procedure code to D1208 if
fluoride gel was actually applied.
All other procedures are
appropriately documented and
compliant.

Procedure Notes:Reason for Visit: Treatment Chief Complaint: No complaints reported Accompanying Adult: Mother Parent/Guardian Present During Treatment: Yes Patient Identification: Confirmed via parent/guardian verification of name and date of birth and by checking ID Interpreter Required: No Medical History: Reviewed and confirmed as current and accurate with parent/guardian Premedication: Not required Consent and Treatment Discussion: The dentist discussed the proposed treatment, including potential benefits, risks, and available alternatives (including no treatment), with the parent/guardian. Written consent was obtained, and an opportunity to ask questions was provided. Treatment Verification: Dental record reviewed to ensure the correct procedure and site were identified prior to initiating treatment. Topical Anesthetic: Not used Local Anesthesia: Not administered Treatment Narrative: The patient arrived for scheduled placement of crowns and strip crown fillings. The parent was informed that the patient would need to remain still for the duration of the procedure. The dental assistant noted that the patient was restless and had difficulty remaining still even prior to starting treatment. This behavior was consistent with prior visit records indicating challenges with cooperation. Isodry was placed successfully with patient cooperation. However, the patient continued to move excessively. Upon attempted administration of local anesthesia, the patient became increasingly uncooperative—raising hands, making sudden movements, and exhibiting behavior that posed safety concerns. Due to the ongoing disruptive behavior and safety risks, it was determined that further treatment could not continue and that sedation would be recommended for future appointments. The guardian understood and agreed with the recommendation. AI Evaluation:
Evaluation: Needs Correction
Identified Issues:
Code D9230 (nitrous
oxide/analgesia) was billed, but
the procedure note lacks required
documentation to support its use.
There is no mention of nasal hood
placement, oxygen or nitrous oxide
delivery, duration of
administration, or confirmation of
the procedure being carried out.
Suggested Fix:
Update the Procedure Note or Group
Note to include: Placement of
nasal hood Start and end times or
duration of nitrous oxide delivery
(e.g., 3 minutes) Oxygen flow rate
and nitrous mix Confirmation that
the procedure was completed as
intended This added detail is
necessary to comply with billing
criteria for D9230. No other
documentation or billing issues
were found.

Procedure Notes:Comprehensive oral evaluation - new or established patient; prophylaxis - child; topical application of fluoride varnish; periodic oral evaluation - established patient AI Evaluation:
Evaluation: Needs Correction
Identified Issues:
1. D0150: Criteria not met – patient has a D0150 recorded in the
ProcedureHistory on the same day (2025-03-11) rather than a history of no
exam or exam 3+ years ago.
2. All billed procedure codes (D0150, D1120, D1206, D0120) lack any supporting documentation in the ProcedureNote or GroupNote. 3. SignedByValidProvider is false and no GroupNote exists, thereby violating the signature requirement for chart notes. 4. The appointment status is marked as NO SHOW despite procedures being billed.
Suggested Fix:
1. For D0150, verify if a comprehensive exam is appropriate – if a prior
D0150 was done on the same day, remove or adjust the billing since it does
not meet the 3-year rule.
2. Add detailed supporting documentation for each billed procedure in the ProcedureNote or GroupNote, ensuring that each entry clearly supports the corresponding procedure code. 3. Ensure that a valid provider signs the documentation. Correct the signature status or have a GroupNote that fulfills the signature requirement. 4. Reconcile the appointment status (NO SHOW) with billed procedures – update status to reflect completed procedures if applicable or remove improperly billed codes. |

Evaluation: Needs Correction
Identified Issues:
D0150 was billed for a patient aged 2, but its criteria require the
patient to be over 3 years old. - The procedure history shows prior D0150
entries within 3 years, further conflicting with the criteria for D0150
(which should only be used if there is no history or at least 3 years
since the previous D0150).
Suggested Fix:
Remove D0150 from the billing and, if an oral evaluation is required for
this patient, consider using D0145 which is appropriate for patients under
3 years old. - Update the procedure note to clearly document the rationale
for using D0145 and ensure the evaluation criteria are met.

Evaluation: Needs Correction
Identified Issues:
There is a mismatch between the Risk Assessment code billed (D0601 for low
risk) and the assessment noted in the ProcedureNote (High Risk). Sealant
procedure on tooth S (D1351) is billed but not supported by documentation
in the GroupNote, which only indicates sealants placed on teeth A, J, K,
and T.
Suggested Fix:
Risk Assessment mismatch: D0601 billed for low risk while the procedure
note indicates a high caries risk. Additionally, one sealant procedure
(D1351 on tooth S) is billed but not documented in the group note which
lists sealants placed on teeth A, J, K, and T.
