Analytics: Correctly Categorizing "Misc" Codes

Make sure your Analytics data is accurate by correctly categorizing any procedure codes marked as “Misc.”

Updated this week

Accurate code categorization is key to getting the most reliable data in Dental Intelligence Analytics. It ensures your production numbers and visit types are tracked correctly — giving you a clear picture of your practice’s performance.

Why Some Codes Show as “Misc”

Sometimes, custom procedure codes or D9xxx codes may appear as “Misc” in Analytics. This can affect other metrics if the visit type or production category isn’t aligned with your practice’s intended setup. For example:

  • A patient’s visit might appear as Misc, when it should actually count as a Hygiene visit.

  • Or, a visit might show as Hygiene when it should be Restorative.

How to Fix Code Categorization

If you notice a code or appointment that’s being classified incorrectly, Dental Intelligence Support can help. We can update how Analytics interprets your procedure codes by adjusting:

  • The Visit Type (e.g., Hygiene, Restorative, Misc, etc.)

  • The Production Type associated with that code

Getting Help

If you’d like a code reviewed or recategorized, please contact Dental Intelligence Support and include:

  • The code(s) in question

  • The correct visit or production type you’d like it categorized as
