Questions, answered
Will it submit the E0486 claims automatically?
No. WebRun drafts each cross-coded claim in DentalWriter and leaves it unsubmitted for your biller to review and file. The Sheet and Slack outputs are internal, so no patient information leaves the practice.
How does it get the E0486 coding right?
It uses the delivered appliance and payer to apply the E0486 code with the modifiers your payer requires, such as NU for most plans and KX for Medicare, and leaves the draft for your biller to confirm.
How does it avoid double-billing an appliance?
It checks DentalWriter for an existing claim on each delivery and only surfaces cases with none, and it drops any case from the list once a claim has been filed.
