It is becoming more common for dental benefits plans to audit their contracted providers. Maintaining accurate and complete record-keeping is the best way to ensure a positive outcome with an audit. The MDS Dental Practice Committee recommends that you document everything related to the diagnosis and treatment of a patient. Because a treatment record is legally binding, every step in the process must be recorded to prove what happened. Taking the time to document all patient care will give the auditor a clear perspective on the diagnosis and course of treatment.
