    Resetting Your Long Time Patients with CDC Code D0150 - Dentistry Made Simple

    Resetting Your Long Time Patients with CDC Code D0150 - Dentistry Made Simple

    It's time to reset your long-time patients. 


    In this episode, Meredith and I discuss the use of code D0150, which is typically applied to new patients but can also benefit those who have been with the practice for an extended period. Updating records comes at a cost of $20 per patient, and conducting this every 3-5 years can significantly boost earnings. Moreover, it offers patients the opportunity to review their progress and identify changes over time. Implementing this strategy may pose challenges, but it ultimately simplifies the role of the treatment coordinator. 


    Building trust over years of patient interaction enables practitioners to confidently recommend necessary treatments, underscoring the importance of trust and positive experiences in dental practice.
