“We were trying to do it all ourselves and the time commitment was overwhelming. I purchased DW exactly a year ago, and it has been well worth the investment, in dollars and in time spent learning the software. It has become our best marketing tool for expanding our sleep presence among physicians. DW has been great with phone support and training too. I wouldn't try to practice sleep and TMD without it.”
“Getting involved with Dental Sleep Medicine and using Dentalwriter were two of the best practice decisions I've ever made.”
“Although we are new users of Dental Writer, the Man-hours saved and peace of mind has already made the investment well worth every penny. Also, as a dental practice that has never filed a medical ins. claim, this service has greatly streamlined the process and removed most of the potential headaches associated with dealing with medical insurance.”
“Record keeping for OSA patients and exam forms are great. Claim form=Great. Referral letters to physician are Great...wonderful feedback, too! NPM makes a difficult job easier to perform for everyone in the office.
I could not imagine practicing Dental Sleep Medicine without DentalWriter!”
“Thank you for making it possible to successfully integrate Dental Sleep Medicine into their practice, provide life changing treatment for our patients...and get paid for it!” We couldn't dream of offering our Dental Sleep Solutions to our patients that desperately need it, without the great software and support that DentalWriter provides or the assistance with billing.”
“I've been using Rose Nierman's Dental Writer software for over 20 years. It has consistently gotten us the best results with filing our medical claims and corresponding with our medical counterparts. The improvements and updates over the years keep it current and relevant in today's practice setting.”
“Our office specializes in TMD and sleep apnea treatment and DentalWriter has made filing medical claims a breeze. I like the webinar training courses and the customer service representatives always get back with me quickly when I have a question and answer my questions and thoroughly. We have our forms set up online for patients to fill out prior to their appointment, saving us time as well as knowing about the patient before they arrive.”
"I have been practicing TMJ, Orofacial Pain Management and now Sleep Apnea treatment for 28 years and have found DentalWriter™ to be invaluable in my practice. I get professional letters to referring doctors and insurance providers quickly and easily. I highly recommend DentalWriter™. You will wonder how you ever functioned without it."
“The on-line new patient health histories are so in depth & so professional. The letters we are able to easily generate to our sleep doctors & other referring doctors are so professional & thorough. I feel the product represents the thorough care we provide as an office. We love this product!”
“DentalWriter has allowed our office to help people who are at the end of their rope with a life-threatening illness and without being able to bill medical they would not be able to get a sleep appliance. It is easy software to use with a great reward!!”
“The best source for CrossCoding from Dental to Medical Insurance. For Implants, Perio, TMD and other services, the software has revolutionized our practice by keeping us current and in the game. The latest customizable software is brilliant and will keep us in the game for many years to come. My advice to the dental office would be to purchase the software, it will only make you current, efficient and profitable.”
“DentalWriter simplifies the learning curve not only for the Dentist but for the staff. It really simplifies the documentation, creates the letters, reports, and insurance forms. It keeps us on track and helps create the reports that help get us paid and increase our referrals. Why work with DentalWriter? It has to do with integrity. We’ve been working with Rose Nierman for a long time and we know her and the company. There’s longevity and support from the company and that means a lot when we choose a vendor.”
“One of the best features of DentalWriter is the ability to customize the software. The ability to customize the information that we need for our office has allowed us to add, delete, and rearrange the order of items on the screen. This makes it much faster and easier for the Doctor and the team to move through the exam in a more efficient manner. We can customize the needed information in a variety of ways so all that is required is a simple click. We have been a long time user and have been excited to have the ability to change the information as our practice goes through the growing process. You can add a simple sentence or entire paragraphs to the software to make your notes more detailed and concise.”
“I’ve used DentalWriter Software for almost 20 years. Rose and her team have been highly responsive to the changing needs of the practitioner with the addition of various modules so you can pick and choose according to your needs. The company has timely upgrades, fast and efficient phone support and a very caring staff to help ensure a smooth implementation in your practice.”

What Procedures Can a Dentist Bill to Medical Insurance?
Successfully billing medical insurance in a dental practice depends on several factors.
First and foremost, the procedure has to be covered under the patient’s specific medical plan and policy.
Second, there must be proper documentation showing that the procedure was medically necessary. Depending on the written policy, some insurance companies may require additional information in order to be approved, such as a physician’s written order or prescription.
Third, the medical claim form needs to be filled out properly, with the correct ICD diagnosis codes, and CPT procedure codes.
Below is a list of the most common dental procedures covered under medical insurance, however other procedures can also be covered if they meet the above requirements:
Sleep Apnea Appliance Therapy (Dental Sleep Medicine)
TMJ Disorder Therapy (TMJ Appliances)
Medically Necessary Dental Implants and Oral Surgeries
Infant Frenectomies
Mucositis Treatment
Oral Cancer Screening
Accident Cases
Botox for Painful Bruxism
Exams, CBCT and Radiographs for the Above Procedures
What is Needed to Bill for Dental Sleep Medicine?
Dental sleep medicine billing is the process of submitting medical claims for oral appliance therapy that treats obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Medical insurance and Medicare typically reimburses for oral appliance claims when claims are submitted with the right documentation. In fact, there are no dental codes for OSA, leaving medical insurance as the appropriate billing source for dental sleep medicine services.
Dental practices can bill for a custom oral appliance, exams, and radiographs related to the treatment.
In order to receive medical insurance reimbursement in dental sleep medicine, you need several pieces of information to complete the puzzle. Medical billing for dental sleep medicine is not difficult once you figure out the proper protocols.
- The diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea by a physician.
- A written order or prescription for an oral appliance from physician.
- Patient questionnaire that includes medical history, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and sleep history.
- Detailed documentation or narrative report of questionnaire data and exam findi/ngs.
Dental Sleep Medicine Billing is made easy with DentalWriter software. Our clients report over a 95% success rate when billing for sleep apnea appliances.
What If I Utilize a Third-Party Medical Billing Service?

Is DentalWriter Compatible with Mac?

Why is Documentation Essential?
Sleep Apnea Therapy and TMJ Disorder Treatments are typically billed under medical insurance, not dental. Detailed reports are essential and often required for medical reimbursement and referring physicians. DentalWriter™ is the only software that generates a detailed S.O.A.P. report based off the questionnaire and exam forms of each case. S.O.A.P. reports of medical necessity are the primary format used by physicians, and medical insurance, to detail and communicate the specific documentation and medical necessity of the patient
