The caries risk code submitted for payment must reflect the findings on the completed form. All signatures and boxes must be completed.
Your evaluation of each individual member’s caries risk will determine the correct D code to submit for reimbursement - depending upon whether the member is found to be low, moderate or high risk. Use of this tool will also aid in more accurate predictions of future caries experience and provide a basis to determine if preventive services can be planned more appropriately with the data obtained. Assessment should allow for targeted patient/guardian education and engagement in the caries prevention process. The concept of risk-based dental caries management is not new and is based on the belief that dentists can use certain indicators to classify caries risk status. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority has introduced coverage of caries risk assessment dental codes D0601, D0602 and D0603.
