PARSIPPANY, N.J. —July 1, 2017 — As of September 1, 2017, procedure codes D7960 and D7963 will no longer be a covered benefit when submitted as a separate procedure, and will not be payable by Delta Dental.

We may also require photographs and/or documentation of medical necessity from the referring physician.
