Reply to comment by peteysweetusername in Dental Insurance which covers 4 cleaning per year? by aleshere

Work in a dental office. After an SRP, scaling and root planing or also known as a deep cleaning, most patients are placed on a 3 month periodontal maintenance. That is seen as a different under insurance frequencies than a regular prophy which is only 2 times per year usually.

This is the answer. His/her office probably doesn’t know how to code it

You would still only have two covered. The two plans coordinate benefits. The other plan tries to pay the amt not paid by the primary plan for the same service. It does not mean you have double the frequency of services.
