ICD-10 Integration Toolkit
A Shared Language for Medical–Dental Integration
While dental procedure codes describe what care was delivered, ICD-10 diagnostic codes explain why it was needed — creating a shared clinical language across medical, dental, and community health teams. This toolkit shows health centers how to put that into practice, with step-by-step implementation guidance, technical setup considerations, quality improvement strategies, and ready-to-use readiness assessments and coding references. Use it to strengthen care coordination, document social drivers of oral health, and demonstrate the value of your oral health services.
