Beyond the Drill: How GladMedRCM Helps Dental & Oral Surgery Practices Master Billing
Let’s face it—dental billing is a beast of its own. It’s not just “medical billing with teeth.” From CDT code quirks to dual insurance headaches, the revenue cycle in dentistry and oral surgery is uniquely complicated. And if you’re like the 80% of dental practices struggling with denials, underpayments, or claim delays, you’re not alone.
At GladMedRCM, we specialize in helping dental and oral surgery practices cut through the insurance confusion and recover lost revenue—accurately, efficiently, and stress-free.
Why Dental Billing Is So Tricky
Dental and oral surgery practices face a tangled web of billing challenges:
- Dental insurance has low annual maximums, unpredictable exclusions, and strict documentation requirements
- Medical insurance might cover certain procedures—but only with precise coding and justification
- Many dental teams aren’t trained in cross-coding between CDT and CPT/ICD-10
- Front-office staff often spend hours chasing pre-authorizations, EOBs, and claim appeals
All of this translates into financial friction—for both your practice and your patients.
Specialized RCM for Dental and Oral Surgery Practices
GladMedRCM handles billing for both general dentists and oral surgeons, providing end-to-end support that bridges the dental-medical gap.

- Real-time benefit verification so you and your patients know what’s covered up front
- Fewer surprises, denials, and awkward financial conversations
For Oral Surgeons:
- Expert cross-coding for procedures billable to medical insurance (e.g., impacted extractions, trauma, TMJ surgery)
- Submission with correct CPT, ICD-10, and CDT codes—plus modifiers and supporting documentation
- Documentation tailored to meet medical necessity standards, including narratives, radiographs, and anesthesia time units (D9222/D9223)
