2009 CDT Code Updates

Effective January 1, 2009 ODS will begin accepting the ADA CDT-9 procedure codes.  We will continue to accept CDT-7 codes through March 31, 2009. Claims with any codes other than CDT-9 will be returned for correction after that date.

The ADA changes include code additions, revisions, and deletions.  If you do not have a current CDT 2009 2010 manual, please contact the American Dental Association (ADA) at 1-800-621-8099 or www.ada.org to request a copy.

Offices will be able to submit filed fees for the new CDT-9 codes beginning January 1, 2009 or six months from the last filed fee update, whichever is later. Additional fee filing information is on our website under Fee Filing, or contact our Dental Professional Relations department at (503) 265-5720 or 1(888) 374-8905.
