2019 CDT Codes...Cleanings Category and Space Maintainers?

Post by Third Coast » Fri Dec 28, 2018 11:06 am

I just imported the new 2019 CDT codes and noticed a new category named "Cleanings" was created and D1516, 1517, 1526, 1527 all pertaining to space maintainers were added to this category.

I'm assuming this is an error, so wanted to point it out. Any recommendations to which category I should move these codes? Also, being that these are currently my only codes within this category, any recommendations for use of "Cleanings" category? Thanks.

I'll have someone look into this. What version of Open Dental are you using?

Version 18.3.37.0, although I see you've verified it already.

Thanks for the suggestion teethdood.

The bug "New 2019 procedure codes were sometimes getting set to the wrong category" has been fixed and will be released with v18.3.39 and v18.4.11

Note that once you are on this version, you will need to run the D-Codes tool to get the codes into the proper category.
