As a result of a complaint, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee decided to caution Dr. Christopher Raymond Sims as follows: • Dr. Sims has a professional, ethical and legal responsibility to maintain a complete patient record documenting all aspects of each patient’s dental care, which includes diagnostic notes, a treatment plan, and an accurate odontogram that reflects the state of the patient’s dentition. Patient records must be well-organized and comprehensive such that another dentist should be able to easily understand the planned and completed treatment. • Dr. Sims must ensure that his recordkeeping practices do not impede the accuracy and clarity of his billing records. He must exercise due diligence to ensure that the proper codes are submitted on his behalf; and not simply follow the advice of sales representatives or what other practitioners may be doing. • The panel reminds Dr. Sims that claims for services provided by an associate dentist must be sent using the name of the associate dentist and not the practice owner. The dental claim is an accurate statement of services performed, the provider who performed them, the office at which they were performed and of the total fee payable.
