Committee Summary
Dental Content Committee (DeCC) operates as an advisory body that is consulted when the Council on Dental Benefit Programs is considering changes to the ADA Dental Claim Form content or completion instructions. The DeCC is also consulted for changes to the HIPAA standard electronic transactions including the claim form (837D). Decisions on changes to be made remain the Council’s responsibility.
Additionally, the DeCC is a Designated Standard Maintenance Organization (DSMO) as named by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to maintain standards adopted under HIPAA and to receive and process requests to adopt new standards or modify existing standards.
