How to verify Delta Dental benefits
Teero verifies Delta Dental benefits for a patient by matching the member company on the ID card, confirming the patient is covered today, and recording the breakdown the visit will be billed against. Teero writes that breakdown into the PMS: eligibility checks are free, a full breakdown is $5, as an add-on to Insurance Posting & Aging under one $800 monthly minimum, with 12-month and month-to-month options available.
What to check before the visit
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Match the member company. Delta Dental is 39 separate member companies. The plan is the member company on the patient’s ID card, which is not always the Delta Dental in your state. That is the payer directory’s own note, and each member company has a guide there. |
| 2 | Confirm the patient is covered. An eligibility check answers whether the patient is covered today. On Teero that check is free for every scheduled patient. |
| 3 | Record the breakdown. A benefits breakdown is what the visit is billed against: category percentages, maximums and deductibles with used amounts, frequencies, waiting periods and plan policies. Teero writes it into Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, Eaglesoft and Open Dental before the appointment. |
| 4 | Use the provider line. Call the provider or dentist line for eligibility and benefits, not the member services number. If the ID card lists a different provider number, use the number on the card. |
