Homepage Free Ada Dental Claim Template
Table of Contents

The ADA Dental Claim Form serves as a crucial tool for facilitating the reimbursement process between dental providers and insurance companies. This form encompasses various sections that capture essential information needed to process claims effectively. At the outset, it requires header information that includes the type of transaction being submitted, such as a statement of actual services or a request for preauthorization. Next, details about the policyholder or subscriber, including their name, address, and insurance identification number, must be provided. The form also seeks to establish whether the patient has any other dental or medical coverage, which is vital for coordination of benefits. Patient information is meticulously gathered, detailing their relationship to the policyholder, date of birth, and gender. Furthermore, the record of services section allows dentists to document the procedures performed, including dates, descriptions, and associated fees. Additional authorizations and treatment information ensure that both the provider and the patient are aware of the financial responsibilities involved. Finally, the form requires signatures from both the patient and the treating dentist, affirming the accuracy of the information provided and the consent for payment to be directed to the dental provider. Each component of the ADA Dental Claim Form is designed to streamline the claims process, ensuring that all necessary details are readily available for review and approval by insurance entities.

Comprehensive completion instructions for the ADA Dental Claim Form are found in Section 4 of the ADA Publication titled CDT-2007/2008. Five relevant extracts from that section follow:

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. The form is designed so that the name and address (Item 3) of the third-party payer receiving the claim (insurance company/dental benefit plan) is visible in a standard #10 window envelope. Please fold the form using the ‘tick-marks’ printed in the margin.

B. In the upper-right of the form, a blank space is provided for the convenience of the payer or insurance company, to allow the

assignment of a claim or control number.

 

C. All Items in the form must be completed unless it is noted on the form or in the following instructions that completion is not required.

 

D. When a name and address field is required, the full name of an individual or a full business name, address and zip code must be entered.

 

 

E. All dates must include the four-digit year.

 

 

F. If the number of procedures reported exceeds the number of lines available on one claim form, the remaining procedures must be

 

listed on a separate, fully completed claim form.

 

COORDINATION OF BENEFITS (COB)

When a claim is being submitted to the secondary payer, complete the form in its entirety and attach the primary payer’s Explanation of Benefits (EOB) showing the amount paid by the primary payer. You may indicate the amount the primary carrier paid in the “Remarks” field (Item # 35).

NATIONAL PROVIDER IDENTIFIER (NPI)

49 and 54 NPI (National Provider Indentifier): This is an identifier assigned by the Federal government to all providers considered to be HIPAA covered entities. Dentists who are not covered entities may elect to obtain an NPI at their discretion, or may be enumerated if required by a participating provider agreement with a third-party payer or applicable state law/regulation. An NPI is unique to an individual dentist (Type 1 NPI) or dental entity (Type 2 NPI), and has no intrinsic meaning. Additional information on NPI and enumeration can be obtained from the ADA’s Internet Web Site: www.ada.org/goto/npi

ADDITIONAL PROVIDER IDENTIFIER

52A and 58 Additional Provider ID: This is an identifier assigned to the billing dentist or dental entity other than a Social Security Number (SSN) or Tax Identification Number (TIN). It is not the provider’s NPI. The additional identifier is sometimes referred to as a Legacy Identifier (LID). LIDs may not be unique as they are assigned by different entities (e.g., third-party payer; Federal government). Some Legacy IDs have an intrinsic meaning.

PROVIDER SPECIALTY CODES

56A Provider Specialty Code: Enter the code that indicates the type of dental professional who delivered the treatment. Available codes describing treating dentists are listed below. The general code listed as ‘Dentist’ may be used instead of any other dental practitioner code.

Understanding Ada Dental Claim

What is the purpose of the ADA Dental Claim Form?

The ADA Dental Claim Form is used to submit claims for dental services to insurance companies or dental benefit plans. It collects essential information about the patient, the policyholder, and the services provided. Completing this form accurately ensures that dental providers receive timely payment for their services and helps patients understand their coverage and potential out-of-pocket expenses.

What information is required on the ADA Dental Claim Form?

To complete the ADA Dental Claim Form, you need to provide detailed information in several sections. This includes header information like the type of transaction, policyholder details, and insurance company information. Additionally, patient information such as name, date of birth, and relationship to the policyholder is required. You must also document the services provided, including procedure dates, tooth numbers, and associated fees. Every field must be filled out unless specified otherwise.

How do I submit the ADA Dental Claim Form?

Once the form is completed, it should be submitted to the appropriate insurance company or dental benefit plan. Ensure that the insurance company’s name and address are visible in a standard #10 window envelope. For claims involving multiple procedures, you may need to attach additional forms. Always keep a copy of the completed form for your records before sending it off.

What should I do if I have secondary insurance?

If you have secondary dental insurance, complete the ADA Dental Claim Form in its entirety and attach the primary payer’s Explanation of Benefits (EOB). This shows the amount paid by the primary insurance. In the remarks section, you can indicate the payment amount from the primary carrier. This ensures that the secondary insurance can process your claim accurately.

What happens if I make a mistake on the ADA Dental Claim Form?

If you realize you've made a mistake after submitting the form, contact the insurance company immediately. They may require you to submit a corrected claim. Always double-check the form for accuracy before submission to avoid delays in processing and payment. Keeping records of all communications and submissions is advisable for reference.

Dos and Don'ts

  • Do read the entire form carefully before filling it out.
  • Do ensure that all required fields are completed, including names, addresses, and dates.
  • Do use the correct format for dates, including the four-digit year.
  • Do check for any missing teeth and mark them clearly on the form.
  • Don't leave any required sections blank; incomplete forms can delay processing.
  • Don't forget to sign and date the form before submission.
