Getting Fluoride To Estimate For Every Age In Eaglesoft
Fluoride Varnish for children up to age 14 is typically covered at 100% under most Preventative categories of coverage. So, what about those 15 years old and older who typically have no coverage?
So here is how I would set this up:
1) I set up three new Service Types under List>General Setup>Service Types
o Preventive – Fluoride 0-14
o Preventative – Fluoride 15-18
o Preventative – Fluoride 18 & Up
o I set the 0-13 with a default percentage of 100% and both the 15-18 and the 19 & Up with a default percentage of 0% and no deductible to apply for all.
2) I create two new Admin Service Codes
a. Service Code: T1206 (the “T” stands for teen)
b. ADA Code: D1206
c. Description: FLUORIDE - TOPICAL VARNISH 15-18
d. Master Standard Fee: Set to the same as your Standard Fee
e. Submit to Insurance: Yes
And
a. Service Code: A1206 (the “A” stands for adult)
b. ADA Code: D1206
c. Description: FLUORIDE - TOPICAL VARNISH 19 & Up
d. Master Standard Fee: Set to the same as your Standard Fee
e. Submit to Insurance: Yes
Then
f. Edit your existing (old) D1206 Service Code and re-name it FLUORIDE - TOPICAL VARNISH 0-13
Examples:
Each of these service codes should be added to the Quick Pick button group
