Carl Hutzler's Blog

A couple of months ago I visited a dentist who I thought did not do a great job. I have since filed a fraud alert with the insurance company. They are investigating the issue.

One thing they did say is that the two $90 claims for “Behavior Management” are the two most abused claim codes, something they know all too well. And that these claim codes require substantial justification for reimbursement. They also found it interesting that the dentist crossed these off the bill when they handed it to me….the charges were listed under “patient pays”.

So while I don’t know the end result of the investigation, I thought I would update the blog.
