Dental claim denials, appealed.
Dental practices write off a striking share of denied and underpaid claims: frequency limits, downcoding, missing X-rays or narratives, and waiting-period denials that are often winnable on appeal. Canopy prepares the dental appeal, with your CDT codes and documentation, so you recover revenue you'd otherwise lose. You file, you stay in control, and you only pay on what you recover.
Common dental denials we help appeal
- Frequency-limitation denials, cleanings, exams, or X-rays denied as too soon.
- Downcoding, paid for a lesser procedure than performed, for example an amalgam allowance on a composite.
- Missing radiograph or narrative denials.
- Waiting-period and missing-predetermination denials.
- Not-a-covered-benefit and least-expensive-alternative-treatment denials.
- Crown, scaling and root planing, and periodontal denials on documentation grounds.
Dental appeals use CDT codes and tooth-level detail, which Canopy handles natively.
