What's New in OrthoTrac 15.6.1

OrthoTrac now allows you to enter the Area of Oral Cavity on paper and electronic claim forms since certain insurance payers require this additional data to process claims. This enhancement helps to prevent claims from being rejected.

You can manually add alphabetic area of oral cavity codes (FM, UA, LA, UR, UL, LL, or LR) to procedures from the Adding Claim Form window. Click in the new Cavity column in the Record of Services area of the claim form, next to the applicable procedure, and type an oral cavity code.

If you want to make entering a cavity code mandatory for a procedure on the claim form, select Oral Cavity Required in the Procedure Code Maintenance window. If the Cavity column is left empty for a respective procedure that is marked as Oral Cavity Required and you attempt to save the claim, the following message is displayed:
Oral Cavity value required for the procedure code at line no: [X] in Records of Services.

You are unable to save the claim until you add the oral cavity alphabetic code. The cavity is not a required field when creating a claim if the included procedures do not have the Oral Cavity Required setting selected.

See Adding Procedure Codes and Creating a Claim Manually for more information.
