Since e-claims are far less than a paper-and-stamp method, the office will save money by sending electronic claims, as well as be more efficient.
NOTE: All carriers are considered to be e-claimable from Denticon, regardless of the carrier’s advice to the office.
As a great assistance, the electronic claims clearinghouse DentalXChange provides a fantastic reference regarding payer IDs to all Denticon offices. If an office should need to add a new carrier to the office's carrier listing, please review the resource information:
- Click the word “Help”
- Choose the “Carrier PayerID LIst” option from the drop-down box Based on DentalXChange’s information in the Carrier PayerID list, all carriers are considered to be e-claimable from Denticon:
- Major dental insurance carriers have a unique code which should be incorporated into the dental carrier listing within Denticon.
- If the carrier does not have a specific payerID, DentalXChange indicates a generic e-number: 06126. The generic number will "flag" to DentalXChange that the DentalXChange team will need to print and mail the claim on the office’s behalf.
To edit an existing carrier:
- Click the word “Setup” and choose the “Insurance” and “Dental Carriers” options from the drop-down box
- Select the desired insurance carrier
- Click the Edit button
- Input the PayerID in the “Payer ID” field
- Amend the “Claim Type” field to “EClaim”
- Click the Save button
