Preauthorization’s are not required, but they are strongly encouraged. Preauthorization’s reduce patients’ confusion about coverage levels and enhance goodwill among the dentist, the patient and Delta Dental. Preauthorization’s also allow your patient the opportunity to make proper financial arrangements for their portion of the treatment cost before actual work begins.

Posterior composites are an optional benefit and must be selected by the employer in order to be included in the patient’s plan.

When you participate with Delta Dental, if your fee or a service exceeds Delta Dental’s maximum plan allowance, participating dentists agree to write-off any difference and not charge the remaining balance to the patient.

By signing the contract to participate with Delta Dental of Wyoming, you also agree to see patients who have coverage through other Delta Dental Member Companies nationwide.

Submitting a monthly claim for orthodontics is not necessary. Normally, the claim is filed for the entire treatment, and Delta Dental will set up the orthodontic case on an automatic payment schedule. Payments will be sent out on a bi-annual schedule until treatment is completed, terminated, or the patient is no longer eligible.
