Dentists can now submit
coordination of benefit (COB) claims directly to Delta
Dental online. Dental offices can submit the following
types of claims and pretreatment estimates online:
- Claims with dates of service,
no COB
- COB with carrier other than
Delta Dental Plan of New Jersey
- COB with two or more Delta
Dental Plan of New Jersey coverages
- COB with capitation
- Pretreatment estimate (PTE) for
non-dated services
- Payment of a PTE with no COB
(must have a PTE voucher number)
Online claims submission can save
your dentist time and money. Claims are processed
faster, plus the system prompts users for incomplete or
inaccurate information (such as the subscriber's Social
Security number or date of birth) that could cause
processing delays. Online
claims submission costs your dentist absolutely
nothing to use, except for his or her Internet
connection. It is also convenient. If the primary
claim can process all the way through, our system will
generate the secondary claim at the time of your
dentist's submission. If the primary claim pends, we
will generate the secondary claim when we process the
primary claim. After your dentist submits the claim,
everything else is done automatically.
Our online claims submission system
also protects your privacy. Eligibility and dental
benefit information is released only to authorized
individuals. Our site uses industry standards such as
firewalls and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to
safeguard your personal information. It encrypts all
personal information including Social Security
numbers, name, and all plan coverage and benefit
information. Any
practicing dentist in the United States may use our
online claims submission feature to submit claims to
Delta Dental Plan of New Jersey for patients covered
by our Delta Dental Plan. Your dentist can access our
online claims submission feature by going to
www.deltadentalnj.com, clicking Dentists and logging
on to Benefits Connection. (Note: Only practicing
dentists - not subscribers - may file claims to Delta
Dental online.) |
