Procedure codes

Review support for procedure codes.

The code book has 99 conditions and 198 procedures. Requirements vary per code. The rules change continuously. Tandela helps the clinician review documentation and code suggestions before submission.

A rejection means you don't get paid for work you've already done. In most cases it's caused by inadequate documentation, not incorrect treatment. And because 99% of cases are processed automatically, errors are only detected weeks or months later during retrospective review.

Code suggestions

Codes based on what you actually documented

Tandela suggests possible conditions among the regulator's 99 codes, based on what the clinician has documented, spread across 7 categories from examinations to prosthetics and orthodontics. Possible procedure codes are shown based on what you've documented. Dentists and dental hygienists only see codes they're authorised to use. The clinician chooses which codes to use.

Documentation review

Per-code checklist. The draft adapts to what each procedure code requires.

Every suggested code is matched against the draft. Tandela shows a checklist for the clinician to review: is a clinical justification documented? A status description? A treatment plan? Each item is marked as found in the draft, should be reviewed, or possible rule conflict. If something appears to be missing, Tandela shows a possible wording based on what the clinician explicitly stated during the patient meeting and what the specific procedure code requires. The clinician decides whether to add it.
