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.

Documents used along the form

The ADA Dental Claim Form is an essential document used by dental professionals to submit claims to insurance companies for reimbursement of services rendered. Alongside this form, several other documents are commonly utilized to ensure a smooth claims process. Below is a list of related forms and documents that may be needed.

  • Explanation of Benefits (EOB): This document outlines the services billed to the insurance company, the amount covered, and any patient responsibility. It is crucial for understanding how a claim was processed.
  • Patient Registration Form: Collected at the first visit, this form gathers essential information about the patient, including contact details, insurance information, and medical history.
  • Consent for Treatment Form: This form is signed by the patient or guardian, granting permission for dental procedures. It ensures that the patient is informed about the treatments they will receive.
  • Articles of Incorporation: To establish a corporation in Washington, it’s essential to utilize the detailed Articles of Incorporation template to ensure all necessary information is accurately provided.
  • Dental Treatment Plan: A detailed outline of proposed treatments, including procedures, timelines, and estimated costs. This document helps patients understand their care and aids in obtaining preauthorization from insurance.
  • Coordination of Benefits Form: Used when a patient has multiple insurance plans. This form helps determine which insurance is primary and how benefits will be coordinated between plans.
  • Claim Attachments: Additional documentation that may be required by the insurance company, such as radiographs or photographs, to support the claim for services rendered.
  • Orthodontic Treatment Records: Specific to orthodontic claims, this includes detailed records of treatment progress, appliance placements, and any necessary adjustments made during the treatment period.
  • Missing Tooth Declaration: A form that may be required to confirm the absence of teeth, often necessary for certain claims related to prosthetics or orthodontics.
  • Provider Credentialing Documents: These documents verify the qualifications and licenses of the dental provider, ensuring they meet the standards set by insurance companies for reimbursement.

Each of these forms plays a vital role in the dental claims process. Properly completing and submitting them alongside the ADA Dental Claim Form can help expedite approvals and ensure that patients receive the benefits they are entitled to.
