This podcast episode may make a significant difference to your bottom line! All general dental practices and even some specialty practices can benefit from proper reporting of these two procedures. D0180 comprehensive periodontal evaluation and D4346 scaling in presence of moderate or severe gingival inflammation are both codes that likely already apply to patients in your office, but it is very possible you are not utilizing these codes to their full extent!
