Insurance reimbursement of digital images

[Allan G. Farman]

Curtis: Do your insurance companies accept duplicate analog radiographs?  Also are CT and MRI scans accepted at this time. If yes, then there is already the possibility of fraud! Allan

Dear colleagues,

The National Health Insurance System here is finally looking into
reimbursement of digital dental x-ray images. The decision makers are very
converned about the possibility of "modification" of digital images. Please
kindly provide me with info on how your insurance company reimburse DDX, and
how to prevent this possible fraud. Many thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

Curtis
