Dental Insurance Billing for PPE

Updated: Aug 11, 2020

This blog post has been a major labor of love. Many hours of research have gone into its existence.

Difficulties in PPE billing in dental offices nation wide have become its own virus of sorts. The cost of infection control procedures has skyrocketed and dental offices are facing a significant financial challenge navigating this environment. Further, costs of personal protective equipment (PPE) including N95 masks, surgical masks, face shields, gowns and shoe covers, has increased due to supply shortages with prices variable across the nation.

Please be aware that simply billing a D1999 on a dental insurance claim form is not the answer. Some insurance companies are simply putting a credit (if qualified) on your Henry Schein account or issuing a lump payment if you are on EFT and in-network. There are so many specifics that you must be aware of.

This post includes a list of insurance companies and their current coverage of PPE at the very bottom. Please read each insurance company information carefully. There are many requirements, multiple payment methods, eft requirements and credits to Henry Shein Accounts for PPE.

We encourage you to share with fellow dental offices.

If you need help with your dental billing, let us know. We are happy to help you navigate these uncertain waters. You can schedule a call to learn more about Dentistry Support here.

Recommended Fee Changes

Dental offices are encouraged to either:

Adjust the maximum allowable fees for all procedures or
Allow a standard fee per date of service per patient to accommodate the rising costs of PPE.

Alternatively, dental offices may wish to utilize the following code:

“D1999 - unspecified preventive procedure, by report” to document and report the use and cost of additional PPE. Dentists can use this code once per patient visit/claim to attempt to cover the cost of PPE

Frequently Asked Questions

What PPE should I use?

The use of PPE is dependent upon professional judgment based on hazard assessment including community transmission, administrative & engineering controls, availability of PPE as well as any states laws or regulations.

How much can I charge for PPE?

We are here to provide information rather than guidance on this area. Please note that:

A dentist individually determines whether to charge and his or her full fee for any procedure delivered and reported with a CDT code.
Neither the ADA nor the CDT Code establish fee schedules for the listed procedures.
Third-party payers determine their own reimbursement amounts for services covered by the applicable dental benefit plan. It is always best to inform patients of any additional charges to avoid any surprise bills. Providing a documented financial policy and seeking consent is desirable.

I don’t think the payment that the third party payer paid me covers the exorbitant costs of PPE I am facing. Can I balance bill my patients separately?

If you are not a participating provider: yes, you are able to balance bill the patient up to your full fee. Inform the patients prior to the visit on any changes to your charges or financial policy.

If you are a participating provider: it depends. Dentists who have signed participating provider agreements have a contractual relationship with their third party carrier. These agreements determine policies that the dentist has agreed to accept.

Can I charge only my uninsured patients for increased PPE costs?

It is unethical to only charge uninsured patients or only seek reimbursement for insured patients to address the costs of PPE.

I heard that payment may be delayed because I reported a D1999 code?

In general, a “by report” code may prevent auto-adjudication of claims. Manual review is typically required to process codes with accompanying remarks resulting in a delay in processing payments.

How do I find more information on the State Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Agencies and what they are doing during COVID-19?

Here is a link to the most up to date FAQ page.

I heard that some payers may pay a standard fee without my reporting a D1999 code?

Yes. Some payers have begun launching programs to provide financial support for reopening or recovery of dental offices and/or to support the cost of PPE. We will list more information on this at the bottom of this blog.
