Dear GEMS Dental Service Provider,

GEMS thanks you for your commitment to providing high-quality healthcare to its members.

Please find the attached erratum notice regarding tariff code 8367 on the 2021 dental practitioner tariff file published on the GEMS website.

Kindly note, the affected tariff files were updated on the GEMS website on 14 January 2021.

Tariff code 9015 (Apicectomy/periradicular surgery- anteriors including retrograde filling) is no longer in use
effective 01/01/2021 and replaced with the following codes:
– 8637 : apicectomy/periradicular surgery, first root – anteriors or premolars
– 8638 : periradicular surgery, each additional root – anteriors and premolars

Error: In the published dental practitioner tariff file the description of tariff code 8637 excludes anterior teeth
and currently reads as: periradicular surgery, first root-premolar

Correction: The correct description should read as follows: periradicular surgery, first root – anteriors or
premolars.
