Summary

Calculating OMFS reimbursement is a complex process that involves multiple tables, formulas and Billing Ground Rules. DaisyBill integrates all of these factors into OMFS calculations with the OMFS Calculator.

Radiology reimbursement is based on the values of the professional and technical components for each radiology procedure code. For multiple radiology procedures, cascading reductions apply separately to these components.

Example: Procedure Codes 70554 and 70553
