InterCare – Benton Harbor
We are excited to announce that InterCare has begun using the additional codes for data reporting through the Maternal and Infant Oral Health project! The codes, outlined in our Clinical Protocol, include:
UDM1; UDM2; UDM3; UDMP and UDMC
These codes indicate a patient is enrolled in the program and her trimester, e.g. “UDM1” = 1st Trimester. The “UDMC” code will count children served by the program. If your site already has similar codes created, feel free to use existing codes, e.g. “1st Tri” and “Post.”
One additional care code should be created: REF. This code indicates a patient was referred to a dentist during the visit. For purposes of this program, we will only be counting aggregate sums of referrals. Data for the previous month should be emailed to girdwojr@udmercy.edu by the second Tuesday of the subsequent month.
Thank you InterCare for being early adopters of these new codes!
