Payment of Dental Services
If your provider is willing to submit your claim to the insurance on your behalf, they may send their statement directly to the Medical/Dental Claims Administrator identified on your ID card. Their statement should include the name and Health Insurance ID number of the Plan Member (resident/fellow) and the name of the patient. Payment will be made directly to your provider and you will receive a copy of the payment notice/EOB (Explanation of Benefits). If your provider requires payment at time of service, or they do not bill insurance for their patients or this Plan, they should give you an itemized statement to send to the Claims Administrator. If you pay the provider, please indicate clearly on the statement that reimbursement should be made payable to the plan member.
