The latest edition of the Current Dental Terminology (CDT-2014) codes is included with this version of SoftDent.
When the CDT-2014 codes are installed, the following things occur:
Twenty-nine new codes are added to the database.
Eighteen codes are revised.
Four codes are removed.
When you open the software for the first time, a CDT 2014 End User License Agreement window is displayed. Read the license agreement carefully. If you agree to the terms, click Accept to load the new codes.
The CDT-2014 code set has been replaced by the CDT-2023 code set.

An office that is using ePayments and has its credit card processing set to Enabled for Providers can now post one credit card payment or refund per billing provider with a single card swipe.
In past versions, an office using the Enabled for Providers credit card processing setting would make one credit card payment or refund for the first doctor in the payment distribution list, and all funds would be applied to the first doctor's account.
After posting, you are prompted to print a receipt listing each charge and the provider name under which each charge was made.
See Posting a Payment to Multiple Credit-Card-Enabled Providers and Posting a Refund to Multiple Credit-Card-Enabled Providers for more information.

These options have also been added to the X-ray menu.
