RECHTeinfach – 2197 neben 6100

Legal analysis regarding the billing eligibility of GOZ fee number 2197 (Adhesive Bonding) alongside GOZ fee number 6100 (Insertion of an Adhesive Bracket for Orthodontic Aids). The content discusses a Federal Administrative Court decision and a subsequent District Court decision from Bottrop that clarified the separate billability of these two procedures. The analysis explains that since adhesive bonding can be performed using both plastic-based and glass ionomer-based materials, the adhesive bonding technique is not a methodically necessary component of bracket insertion and can therefore be billed separately.
