2024 Dental Customized Fee Analyzer (Spiral)
Optum | 2024 |
Dental Customized Fee Analyzer provides dentists and oral surgeons with a customized report for a specific geographic area by Geozip and the CPT® and CDT codes most frequently used in a dental and/or OMS practice. Under-priced fees can cost a practice thousands of dollars each year. To set the most appropriate fees, you need specific information for your geographic locality, as fees vary widely across the country. Relying on national averages can result in reimbursement that is too low or billable charges that are too high. This resource will provide defensible data when revising your fee schedule, negotiating contracts, and conducting competitive analysis.
- Seven reference points of charge data (50th, 60th, 75th, 80th, 85th, 90th, and 95th). Perform competitive analyses with confidence and make more accurate adjustments of charges.
- Real-life charge data from the FAIR Health database of over 1.7 billion medical and dental charge records. Develop and maintain competitive fees while having defensible data during contract negotiations.
- Follow-up days listed by procedure. Quickly identify the number of days a physician is responsible for services under a CPT® code.
- Professional (PC) and technical (TC) component splits of global services for all CPT® codes. Estimate allocation and reimbursement for the professional and technical portion of a specific service.
- Printed book or downloadable data file. Choose from two format options.
