This mainly applies to existing patients at a practice. Say you’re seeing a patient for his/her 6mrc and they end up needing SRP (not full 4341, but maybe 1-2 quads 4342). Typically, my office has me do the prophy then bring them back for SRP on a different day, so that the patient doesn't leave without having anything done. However, I’m told that with some insurance companies, if you do SRP the day after a prophy, insurance won’t cover it. Sometimes you even have to wait 3 months after a prophy to do SRP. Does anyone have more info about this? Mainly insurance info? For example, with Delta, I’m told that the insurance company won’t cover SRP until 3 months after a prophy.
I would like to know if anyone has any details about this. I'm not necessarily looking for clinical answers, but more insurance based answers.
