- What is “balance billing”, and how do you prevent a dentist from billing the patient any amount in excess of the “Amount Allowed”?
Participating Dentists agree to accept payment based on the Contract Amount Allowed or Submitted Amount, whichever is less. If the Amount Allowed for a particular covered service is lower than the dentist’s Submitted Amount, he or she agrees not to charge the difference to the subscriber.
For example: Dr. X charges $50.00 for a particular covered service. Delta Dental’s Contract Amount Allowed is $40.00. When Dr. X performs the service on a Delta Dental patient, his office then files a claim. Delta Dental sends him a check for $40.00 (less any co-pay or deductible as per the group’s contract), and the service is considered paid in full. Per his contract agreement, Dr. X may not “balance bill” the patient for the remaining $10.00. This feature can add up to significant savings for our subscribers! back to top
