Soon, Your Dentist Can Submit Claims to Delta Dental Via the Internet

Delta Dental Plan of New Jersey will soon roll out a new service that will enable both participating and non-participating dentists to submit online claims directly to Delta Dental.

Online claims submission offers a number of benefits to your dentist.

  • It can save a dental practice thousands of dollars a year over paper claims.
  • Dentists receive payment about 50% faster when they submit online claims instead of paper claims.
  • The easy-to-use system helps improve the accuracy of claims, and helps prevent processing delays due to missing or incorrect information.
  • It's free! There aren't even any stamps or envelopes to worry about.

The system has also been designed with your privacy in mind. The confidential information we receive is not disclosed to other companies for marketing purposes, and eligibility and dental benefit information is released only to authorized individuals. Our site uses industry standards such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information.

It encrypts all personal information including Social Security numbers, name, and all plan coverage and benefit information. This means that unauthorized persons cannot read personal information displayed on our site as the information travels over the Internet. Our online claims submission system is fully HIPAA compliant.

Any practicing dentist in the United States may use our online claims submission feature to submit claims to Delta Dental Plan of New Jersey for patients covered by our Delta Dental Plan.

On your next dental visit, why not ask if they've tried Delta Dental's online claims submission? If they haven't heard about it yet, suggest they visit www.deltadentalnj.com, click on "Dentists" and log on to Benefits Connection. Maybe your claim will be the first one they file!
