This confidential training module, developed by Texas Dental Sleep Services (TDSS), Dr. Martin Denbar, and Eric Northey, serves as a comprehensive guide for TDSS providers on achieving compliant documentation, billing, and audit readiness for dental sleep medicine services. It emphasizes that Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) billing requires a medical mindset, starting with meticulous patient record preparation and thorough SOAP notes before treatment delivery. The module details the entire claim submission workflow, including using TDSS forms and checklists, correct coding, and specific requirements for Medicare and VA patients. Ultimately, the text stresses that providers are legally accountable for accurate documentation and clean claims, highlighting the crucial role of audit-proof record-keeping, a process that will be further streamlined with the upcoming TDSS-Charm DSM Customized EMR in Q2 2025.
