Providers billing Independence Blue Cross for oral surgery claims are reminded to include proper and accurate tooth numbers on the claim submission, in accordance with our claim payment policy.
Failing to include the tooth numbers can result in a duplicate denial, causing unnecessary delays and complications. To avoid this, make sure to bill the tooth numbers in both the header and line level remarks sections of the claim submission. This attention to detail will help ensure that your claims are processed smoothly and efficiently.
For more information, please refer to policy 04.00.05d: Extraction of Bony Impacted Teeth and Exposure of Impacted Teeth.
