CCN 79 Compliance for UK CustomersCCN 79 Compliance for UK Customers

OrthoTrac complies with CCN 79 for UK customers. NHS BSA is beginning to phase out the transmission of specific orthodontic dates with separate codes for day, month, and year (i.e., 9000-format date codes).

The affected claim types for this change include Assess & Review claims (9012), Assess & Refuse claims (9013), Assess and Debond Overseas Patient claims (9016), and Assess & Appliance Fitted claims (9014).

The Date of Assessment is no longer necessary to transmit claims as this date will be taken from the mandatory Date of Acceptance. The Date of Referral and Date Appliance Fitted are now entered as a yymmdd format. The new elements can be submitted for claims on or after 1 August 2025.

Note: The Date of Acceptance takes priority over the 9000 codes when both are present. Eventually any claims received that use the old 9000 date codes will be rejected. This will be notified via a future CCN. Practices submitting PDS claims must be on OrthoTrac version v15.7.0 by November 30, 2025 or their PDS claim submissions will be rejected.
