How are dental insurance claims handled at affiliated dentists?
Our front office staff at Affiliated Dentists is trained to submit your dental insurance claims to your insurance company properly, regardless of the type of dental work done, so you don’t have to.
What happens if my dental insurance denies my claim?
Many times we will collect the portion that is estimated to be your out of pocket cost at the time of your visit and will wait for your dental insurance to pay the rest of the claim. You are responsible for whatever your insurance doesn’t cover, so if the claim comes back denied partially or in full, you will be billed for the rest of the balance.
When do I receive my dental insurance claim?
Most dental insurance claims are sent electronically either the same day or the day after your visit. This means after the claim has been reviewed by the dental office staff and all necessary attachments and narratives have been included, it is submitted electronically to your dental insurance and received immediately.
Do you have to tell your dentist about your insurance?
Your insurance company will never tell your dental office anything unless they are informed to contact them first. They do, however, send this information to you, the patient. This is why it is your responsibility to always provide this information to your dental office before your next appointment.

What to do if your dental insurance does not pay?
If you want to file a complaint about a delayed payment, contact the insurance commissioner in your state. They want to know if your insurance company does not pay within the period allowed by your state law. Q: The dentist says I need a certain procedure, but it isn’t covered by my insurance.
What happens if my dental insurance plan changes?
Many patients think that if their insurance plan changes or terminates, their dental office staff is notified by the dental insurance, but this is far from true. Your insurance company will never tell your dental office anything unless they are informed to contact them first.
