Is there any possibility of adding the Dental Activity codes to the NHS Treatment categories listed in the Treatments & Plans Settings page?

It would greatly help practices to see what codes are actually attached to each treatment item - rather than us guessing and just having to identify and fix each invalid NHS submission.

For example: Antibiotic items prescribed (9358)

My conversations with support are long, and then takes extra time to submit claims that we now need done promptly for all our performers to get paid for care packages in a timely manner.

It seems such a simple fix would take minutes to implement - and help all practices (certainly in Wales with the changes post-April)

Hi ​@Hebe Lowen 

I have identified that there is an error in the codes sent via Dentally.

The Exam Not Possible treatment category is creating clinical code 93570 which then leads to the claim not being submitted as the XML is formatted wrong. The code for Exam Not Possible is 9357 (without the 0 on the end)

Could the development team be notified - I feel this is urgent as many claims (certainly New Urgent Referral patients) require this.

 

Keep me updated, thanks

Thanks ​@Rjwhite  for your message, I've spoken to the product team who've confirmed they are aware of the issue, and shared the following:

That treatment category in Dentally is being removed. If there is no complete exam on Dentally, the Reason for No Exam option should be displayed on the claim screen and you can choose the reason, which will send the 9357 0 or 9357 2 depending on the reason selected.

I hope this helps, if you have any immediate concerns please reach out to the support team as they can get back to you within minutes during working hours.
