1
Ask the payer which prior date counts for the planned procedure and whether the office should capture tooth, surface, quadrant, or arch details.
2
Record the stated interval and the next eligible date if the payer provides one.
3
Check whether radiographs, charting, narratives, or predetermination are recommended before treatment is presented.
4
Keep the frequency-limit evidence with the estimate so a later denial can be traced back to the verification source.
