Reimbursing In-Network Dental Professionals for PPE through September 30, 2020

We are committed to helping you provide care to your patients during this public health emergency. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is key to keeping you, your staff and your patients safe. That’s why, beginning July 1, 2020, CDT code D1999 will be temporarily considered reimbursable for in-network dental professionals for the costs associated with PPE through September 30, 2020, unless extended.

Horizon BCBSNJ will authorize $10 for CDT code D1999 when submitted once per patient, per date of service and per provider.

If you have questions about this change or how to appropriately submit claims for PPE, please refer to the ADA guidelines.

For questions related to a member’s benefits, please call 1-800-4DENTAL (1-800-433-6825).

As we continue to monitor the changes in the dental field and the challenges you and your patients face, you have our commitment to keep you informed. 

Thank you for your continued support and for caring for your patients.
