AAE Coding Leaders Represent Specialty at ADA Code Maintenance Committee 

The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) coding leaders and Code Maintenance Committee (CMC) representatives—Drs. Kayla Tavares Tio, Beth Damas, and Kenneth Wiltbank—represented the specialty at the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Code Maintenance Committee meeting on Friday, March 13, advocating to ensure that endodontics continues to be appropriately reflected in updates to Current Dental Terminology (CDT) codes. 

Throughout the past year, AAE coding leaders have worked closely with dental organizations and insurance carriers to review and refine CDT codes, helping improve clarity and consistency in dental coding practices for endodontists. During this year’s meeting, the committee reviewed and voted on more than 80 proposed new and revised codes, decisions that will help shape the future of dental coding and documentation. 

The AAE remains committed to actively participating in the CDT code development process to ensure that the needs of the specialty are represented. Through this continued engagement, the Association helps support accurate coding, strengthen advocacy efforts, and ensure that endodontists have the resources necessary to deliver high-quality patient care.
