PPO fees

[rhaber123]

We started using the PPO Option, and for the molars, it is downgrading from composites to amalgam. How to stop that?

[rhaber123]

WELL Figured it out. go to Lists/ Procedure codes/ double click the ADA code for post composite/ Ins Subst Code
Here delete the substitute code for amalgam.

Correct. There are also additional ways to get the desired result if deleting the substitution code completely is not acceptable:

Instead of deleting the substitution code (that affects all plans), you can simply mark 'Do Not Substitute Codes' in the insurance plan setup window for those plans that don't downgrade.
