"D9993: Fast Facts Coding Edition"

On this week's episode of Fast Facts – Coding Edition with Teresa Duncan, MS Teresa gives us a breakdown of code D9993 which is part of the suite of dental case management codes. D9993 specifically relates to motivational interviewing, a very helpful skill to possess in the op!   Quotes:  "Motivational Interviewing is patient centered, personalized counseling using methods such as motivational interviewing to identify and modify behaviors interfering with positive oral health outcomes." "Unfortunately, you don't find a lot of reimbursement for these unless it is a public health system like maybe the VA or Indian health services or some Medicaid plans."
