A Dental Bill is a fundamental document in Irish dental practice management, serving as both a financial record and a legal document. It is used whenever dental services are provided to patients and requires specific information to comply with Irish healthcare regulations, consumer protection laws, and tax requirements. The document must include the dental practice's details, patient information, itemized treatments with corresponding dental codes, and proper VAT applications. It can be used for direct billing, insurance claims, and maintaining patient records. The format needs to align with requirements set by the Irish Dental Council, Revenue Commissioners, and where applicable, the Health Service Executive (HSE). This document is particularly important for maintaining transparent financial records, facilitating insurance claims, and ensuring compliance with Irish healthcare service standards.
