    Description
    Doody's Reviews

    The fundamental rule to apply in all coding situations is “code for what you do.” The CDT 2025 Coding Companion can help you do just that by walking staff through the steps needed to complete detailed patient records and submit accurate claims. This instructional text features more than 200 coding scenarios to provide you with step-by-step examples for how to code different cases and treatments.

    It includes examples of how to use new and revised codes, so even a seasoned coder can benefit from this 2025 edition. For less experienced coding staff, the CDT 2025 Coding Companion takes the stress out of coding with more than 270 questions and answers to help prepare for any coding situation. Written by dental coding experts and vetted by the ADA, the Coding Companion can be trusted as the definitive source of coding information.

    The CDT 2025 Coding Companion features:

    • • Descriptions and explanations of the code changes for 2025
    • • 200 coding scenarios and 270 questions and answers
    • • Key definitions and concepts for each category of service
    • • Numeric and alphabetic indices
