Ambulatory Surgery Center and Inpatient Hospital facility fees associated with dental procedures (CDT codes or CPT codes) must be billed through an HCA-contracted managed care organization (MCO) for eligible clients enrolled in an MCO.*
HCA continues to pay for the following through fee-for-service:
- Professional fees for dental procedures using CDT codes
- Professional fees using CPT codes only when the provider’s taxonomy starts with 12. See the Dental-Related Services Billing Guide on how to bill professional fees.
Note: The agency will continue to determine site of service prior authorization for facility fees associated with dental procedure codes.
*If a client is not enrolled in an HCA-contracted managed care organization (MCO), bill HCA for services.
