Managing CDT Codes
The American Dental Association periodically publishes updates to the
Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature
(CDT). The WinOMS software manages the implementation of the code changes
using the following features:
AddsThis
feature includes new procedure codes and descriptions that did not
exist in earlier versions of the CDT code set.
ChangesThis
feature includes changes to the descriptions, which are also referred
to as nomenclature changes. The corresponding alphanumeric codes have
not changed.
DeletesThis
feature includes codes that are obsolete.
- Performing the CDT Code update requires security
level permission for this feature. You must accept the End-User License
Agreement (EULA) before processing the CDT code update.
To grant permission to update the CDT Code set:
Select Utilities
> Security. The Set Security Level Permissions window is
displayed.
Under All Items, click Procedures
& Payments > Procedures. The CDT Code Update feature
is displayed on the right.
Select the checkbox for each user
level that has permission to update the CDT Code set.
Click Ok.
