Procedure code setup

Dentrix comes installed with all of the procedures listed in the American Dental Association Code on Dental Procedures and Nomenclature. Because so many tasks and transactions in a dental office can be linked to an ADA procedure, Dentrix includes a Procedure Code Editor where you can customize certain criteria, such as fees, treatment area, names, and paint types, to fit the needs of your practice if the default standard settings are not sufficient. Because you also have the flexibility to bill either dental or medical insurance, you can use the Procedure Code Editor to add or edit medical codes too.
