Update system to enforce once-per-tooth-per-year limit for D2991 and require prior authorization for additional applications. Configure surface-based pricing: 1 surface ($70), 2 surfaces ($80), 3 surfaces ($90), 4 surfaces ($125). Train staff on electronic prior authorization submission through BeneCare/CTDHP portal at www.ctdhp.org. Note: D2991 will initially pay at single surface rate with mass adjustment following later.
