ALBERTA DENTAL ASSOCIATION AND COLLEGE
Preamble
The fees listed herein are published to serve merely as a guide. No dentist receiving this list is under any obligation to accept the fees itemized. Any dentist who does not use all or any of these fees will in no way suffer in their relations with the Alberta Dental Association and College or any other body, group or committee affiliated with or under the control of the Alberta Dental Association and College. A genuine suggested fee guide is one which is issued merely for professional information purposes without raising any intention or expectation whatsoever that the membership will adopt the guide for their practices. Dentists have the right and freedom to use any dental codes that are included in the Alberta Uniform System of Coding and List of Services. Dentists may use these fees to assist them in determining their own professional fees. A suggested protocol to follow in order to eliminate the possibility of patient misunderstandings regarding the fees for dental treatment is:
a. Perform a thorough oral examination for the patient.
b. Explain, carefully, the particular problems encountered in this patient's mouth. Describe your treatment plan and prognosis, in a manner, which the patient can fully understand. Assure yourself that the patient has understood the presentation.
c. Present your fee for treatment, before the commencement of treatment.
d. Arrange financial commitments in such a manner that the patient understands their obligation.
e. If there is any question as to why this fee must be charged ... explain at this time.
f. Describe, explain and note any conditions, which may require an additional fee.
g. For the patient who requires a removable prosthetic service, two pertinent points must be emphasized:
1. The length of time that adjustments will be provided, at no additional fee; and
2. Whether or not the initial fee includes the cost of necessary relines.
h. In all areas of treatment, the fee you charge should be based on the skill, judgment and experience, which you have attained, and on the degree to which these are applied in the treatment of your patient.

Structure
The Uniform System of Coding and List of Services (USC&LS) is a terminological standard that provides descriptions and codes to represent oral health services. Its two main purposes are to support the production of fee guides and the processing of dental claims. It is intended to be used by dentists in Alberta and its service descriptors should be clear and unambiguous for this audience. The USC&LS is a classification organized around 10 categories, each of which is subdivided into classes, sub-classes and general service titles to facilitate the identification of the appropriate code to represent a service.
The categories used for the organization of the classification are:
00000 Diagnostic 10000 Prevention 20000 Restoration 30000 Endodontics 40000 Periodontics 50000 Prosthodontics - removable 60000 Prosthodontics - fixed 70000 Oral maxillofacial surgery 80000 Orthodontics 90000 General Services
The fully specified descriptor of a code is made up of the descriptor of the service code plus those of the general services title, sub-class and class the service is found under. The category of a code is not part of its fully specified descriptor. It is solely intended to guide the search for codes to represent specific services. This means that categories do not constrain the services a code can describe.
Also, the category does not limit the use of codes to certain specialties. For example, if the fully specified descriptor of a code in category 70000 Oral and Maxillofacial surgery matches the service to be described, that code can be used to describe a periodontal or an endodontic service. That code can equally be used by a general dentist, an oral surgeon, a periodontist, an endodontist or any other specialist. Except if specified otherwise, as is the case for codes in the 06000 class of services, all codes may be used by all dentists.
Units of time
Units of time referenced in certain descriptors are periods of 15 minutes or less. A half-unit of time, which is a period of 7 ½ minutes, is the smallest unit of time described by the USC&LS. Half units of time are not available for all services.
+L, +E and +PS
The mentions +L, +E and +PS are added to the descriptors of services whose cost involve an expense component that is too variable to allow for the determination of a usual and
iv
customary fee that includes them.
• The mention "+L” in the descriptor of a code means that associated lab costs are to be coded separately from the service itself.
• The mention "+E" in the descriptor of a code means that material expenses not already factored in the fee for that service are to be coded separately from the service itself
• The mention "+PS" in the descriptor of a code means that the professional fees charged to the dentist for the professional services of an additional provider(s) are to be coded separately from the service itself.
Codes for lab costs, material expenses and professional services are found in the 99000 class of codes.
I.C.
The letters “I.C.” following a procedure code indicates a designation “Independent Consideration” and is utilized when the procedure involves complexities which are too variable to designate a specific fee.
Standards
Where the description of a service requires the designation of the tooth or teeth involved, the use of ISO 3950 is mandatory.

Coding Instructions
The USC&LS is intended to remove, to the greatest extent possible, any ambiguity in the description of services. This can only be accomplished if the codes are used in a consistent fashion-by all users, at all times.
Inclusions and exclusions
Codes provided by the USC&LS represent services. When a service is normally comprised of a set of distinct procedures, these procedures are included in the service code and should not be coded separately. For example, consider the use of anesthesia:
• Local anaesthesia is generally required for the provision of a restoration. It is a normal component of a restorative service and when administered to support the delivery of a restoration, it must not be coded separately.
• General anaesthesia is not generally required for the provision of restorative services. It is not a normal component of a restorative service and to give a full description of the services provided, it must be coded separately.
• Local anaesthesia delivered on its own, not in support of another service, must be represented using the appropriate code from sub-classification 92100 anaesthesia, local.
Selecting the appropriate service code
The codes in the USC&LS are sequences of five digits that indicate the placement of a service within its classification system
• Codes that end with a sequence of four zeros (X0000) are header codes used for the identification of a category of services
• Codes that end with a sequence of three zeros (XX000) are header codes used for the identification of a class within a category of services
• Codes that end with a sequence of two zeros (XXXO0) are header codes used for the identification of a sub-class of a class of services
• Codes that end with one zero (XXXX0) are header codes used for the identification of a general service title within a sub-class of services.
• Codes that end with a numeral other than 0 are service codes.
Codes ending in 0 are used for classification purposes only. They cannot be used for the representation of a service. Only codes ending in a digit other than 0 are service codes that can be used for the representation of services.
The fully specified descriptor of a service code includes the descriptor of the code, plus the descriptors of the general service title, sub-classification and classification the code falls under. For example, the fully specified descriptor of service code 04221 is
04000 Test/analysis/laboratory procedures/interpretation and/or report; 04200
vi
Test/analysis, caries susceptibility/diagnosis; 04220 Non-ionizing scanning procedure to detect caries and capable of quantifying, monitoring and recording changes in enamel, dentin, and cementum, which includes diagnosis and interpretation of findings; 04221 One unit of time
The most important criteria for the identification of which code to use for the representation of a service is factual accuracy. Any misalignment between the service provided and the fully specified descriptor of a code means that the code cannot be used. In cases where more than one code descriptor that accurately matches a service can be identified, the one that provides the best match must be used. Even when there isn't a code that accurately represents a service, it is not acceptable to use a code where the full descriptor is not a match to the service. Conversely, the absence of a code that accurately describes a service doesn't prevent the billing of that service to the patient or the submission of a claim for its reimbursem*nt by a dental plan. Claims for services that cannot be coded through the USC&LS cannot be sent with CDAnet™. However, they can be submitted on paper, ideally on the Standard Dental Claim Form, using the box labeled " FOR DENTIST USE ONLY - FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, DIAGNOSIS, PROCEDURES, OR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION" to provide a text description of the service. Except for codes in class 06000 Radiographs, which are for specialty use only, all the active service codes from the current edition of the USC&LS are available for the description of services. The code category, scope of practice, or specialty status of the dentist who provides it does not limit the use of a code.
Any combination of codes is allowable providing it accurately describes the services being coded. The requirement is to use the smallest possible number of combined codes that provides an accurate description of a service.
Units of time
Units of time referenced in the USC&LS are periods of 15 minutes or less. For services where half units of time are coded, a half unit of time is a period of 7 ½ minutes or less.
For services coded in terms of “units of times", the time spent on the provision of a service begins when the practitioner begins preparing themselves and the patient for its delivery and ends either when another service is initiated or when the patient is discharged from the operatory. Treatment time does not include the time spent setting up or breaking down the operatory nor does it include the time spent on administrative tasks such as billing and scheduling the next appointment. Total time units do not equal time on tooth with an instrument as services directly related to the provision of the main service are included.
A unit of time, either half or full as appropriate, is added to the total number of units used as soon as the delivery of the service extends into the next unit of time. For example, a service where a code for half- units of time is not available that takes between 1 and 15 minutes to
vii
deliver should be recorded as one unit of time. One that takes between 16 and 30 minutes as two units of time. Services for which a code representing a half-unit of time is available should be recorded as the number of full units used plus one half-unit if the overage is up to 7 ½ minutes or the number of full units used if the overage is more than 7 ½ minutes. For example, if a service, for which for which a code representing a half-unit of time is available, took 17 minutes to deliver, it should be coded as one full unit and one half-unit. If the same service took 24minutes, it would be coded as two full units.
It is important to recognize that "appointment time" is not the same as "treatment time ".” Appointment time" maybe less than the time represented by the total of the units of time reported for that appointment.
+L, +E and +PS
Services whose descriptor involve the mentions +L, +E or +PS separate the dentist fee from an expense component that is passed through to the patient. The representation of these services requires the use of two codes, one for the service itself and one for the expense that is passed through to the patient.

30000 ENDODONTICS
General Endodontic ProceduresThere are certain Endodontic cases, which, as a result of a previous treatment, tooth position, anatomy and/or stage of development, require additional time and care. Such situations could merit an additional fee. Conservative root canal therapy includes treatment plan, clinical procedures with appropriate follow up care. Excludes final restoration.
Note: If Endodontic therapy is not completed it would be deemed reasonable to charge a portion of the suggested fee in relation to time expended in the procedure.

In the treatment of periodontal diseases, variables such as the severity of the patient's periodontal condition and the distribution (i.e. extent) of the condition may require a relatively wide selection of therapeutic procedures and involve considerable variation in time and expense. In most instances the time required to perform a certain procedure could, and usually does, vary from one quadrant to another and therefore the amounts of time as outlined in the following guide could vary in the management of a particular case.

60000 PROSTHODONTICS - FIXED
Initial description:Fixed prosthodontic therapy requires the use of a variety of technical and therapeutic procedures depending on the nature of the problems presented in each individual case. The range of these procedures extends into many areas of treatment in order to provide comprehensive therapy for the patient. Many of the procedures used vary considerably in their difficulty, time, involvement and expense. The amount of time involved in a procedure may vary considerably from those outlined in the following guide. Fixed Bridges (each abutment, each retainer and each pontic, constitutes a separate unit in the bridge, with a separate code number).

92400 ANAESTHESIA, CONSCIOUS SEDATIONAnaesthesia, Conscious Sedation - a medically controlled state of depressed consciousness that allows protective reflexes to be maintained, retains the patient's ability to maintain a patent airway independently and continuously and permits appropriate response by the patient to physical stimulation or verbal command, e.g.., "open your eyes". (includes pre-anaesthetic evaluation and post anaesthetic follow-up)
Any technique leading to these conditions in a patient would fall within this category of service. Conscious sedation is a varied technique which can require different levels of monitoring, in accordance with the Regulatory Authority Guidelines for the Use of Sedation and General Anaesthesia in Dental Practice. The Guidelines should be consulted and observed.
