Definition

Tooth Surface Codes are defined by the HIPAA standard electronic dental claim transaction (837D v5010) and the ADA Dental Claim Form. Surface codes can be used in a variety of combinations to define a multi-surface procedure (ie. MOD for a singular intervention which covers Mesial, Occlusal, and Distal surfaces). Tooth Surface Codes can be accessed through the ADA Guide to Dental Procedures Reported with Area of the Oral Cavity or Tooth Anatomy (or Both).
