From Procedure to Payment: How MikLynch Simplifies Medical Coding for Dentists

For most dentists, providing exceptional care to patients is the top priority, but when it comes to turning that care into reimbursement, things can get complicated fast. Medical coding and billing for dental procedures is an area filled with technical complexity, insurance red tape, and frequent denials. Fortunately, there’s a better way.

MikLynch specializes in simplifying medical coding and billing for dental practices, helping dentists across the U.S. get paid accurately and on time—while freeing up their teams to focus on patients, not paperwork.

???? Why Does Medical Coding Matter in Dentistry?


Most dental procedures are traditionally billed to dental insurance. But many procedures—especially those related to oral surgery, trauma, TMJ, sleep apnea appliances, and medically necessary treatments—can be billed to medical insurance, often with higher reimbursement rates.

This process, known as dental-to-medical cross-coding, opens up new revenue opportunities but requires specialized knowledge to be done correctly. That’s where MikLynch steps in.

???? The Challenges Dentists Face


Billing dental services to medical insurance isn’t just about filling out a different form. It involves:

  • Understanding ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS medical coding systems

  • Documenting procedures with clinical-level detail

  • Providing SOAP notes, narratives, and medical necessity justifications

  • Submitting pre-authorizations

  • Dealing with frequent denials and appeals


For many practices, this is overwhelming, especially with a busy front desk, limited staff, and the day-to-day demands of patient care.

✅ How MikLynch Simplifies the Process?


At MikLynch, we don’t just process claims—we optimize your entire billing workflow. Here’s how we help dentists go from procedure to payment:

1. Coding Accuracy with Dental-to-Medical Cross-Coding Experts


Our certified coding team is trained in both dental and medical billing, making it easy to convert CDT (dental procedure codes) to their appropriate ICD-10 and CPT medical code equivalents. This is essential for billing procedures like:

  • TMJ diagnostics and treatment

  • Sleep apnea oral appliances

  • Biopsies and oral pathology

  • Surgical extractions

  • Trauma-related injuries

  • Bone grafting or implant-related procedures

  • Oral infections affecting systemic health


We ensure your procedures are not only coded correctly but also backed by proper documentation for quick approvals.

2. Pre-Authorizations & Claim Submission


MikLynch handles pre-authorizations to help improve the chances of claim approval before treatment begins. We manage the entire submission process—including attachments, clinical notes, SOAP templates, and more—to ensure your claims are complete and compliant.

3. Appeals & Denial Management


Even the best claims get denied. That’s why we don’t stop at submission. MikLynch follows up with payers, resolves rejections, and submits appeals with supporting evidence. We fight for your reimbursement like it’s our own.

4. Real-Time Reporting & Transparent Communication


Want to know how your claims are doing? We provide regular reports with clear claim status updates so you stay informed about your practice’s financial performance without micromanaging the process.

5. Training & Compliance Support


We help your team understand the basics of dental-to-medical coding and what documentation is required for successful claims. Our billing experts also keep you up to date with payer policy changes, code updates, and new regulations affecting medical-dental billing.
