Out-of-Country Claims Submission
 

As a Delta Dental of Arizona subscriber, you can visit any licensed dentist anywhere in the world for your dental care. Even if you're out of the country when you receive dental treatment, you have peace of mind when you have Delta Dental of Arizona coverage.

In order to process an out-of-country claim for dental services including diagnostic & preventive, restorative, and major, please follow these instructions carefully. Your dental program includes covered dental services when they are performed and completed by a licensed dentist in a dental office.

To ensure this, DDAZ require these copies:

  1. Dentist's professional license
    (only when not already on file- contact DDAZ to verify @ 1-800-352-6132)
  2. Superbill which would include dental practice letterhead
  3. Insurance Claim form
    You can download a claim form when you login to the Subscriber Connection.

     The patient section of the insurance form must include:
    • Patient Name
    • Subscriber ID or SSN
    • Patient date of birth
    • Information on other coverage

    •  
    The dentist section of the insurance form must include:
    • Dentist Name
    • Dentist address
    • Dentist telephone number
    • Dentist's license number

    •  
    The insurance claim form itemized treatment section must include:
    • Tooth number, when applicable
    • Description of the service
    • Date of service
    • Procedure code
    • Each procedure must be listed and priced separately; we cannot calculate benefits when services and fees are combined (please specify currency). The claim form must include the billed charges in that country’s currency and a conversion fee into United States dollars.
    • Orthodontic treatment must include total months of treatment and total treatment fee

If you require major services treatment, we strongly urge you to request a predetermination. We will process the predetermination and notify you if the recommended treatment is a covered benefit, how much Delta Dental of Arizona will pay, and of your financial obligation.

Below is a list of procedure information that is required to process your claim. Please request this vital information from your dentist prior to treatment or before completion of your treatment:

  • If the claim is for a crown, veneer, inlay, onlay, bridge, implant, or partial denture, your dentist need to indicate if this is initial placement. A copy of the pre-operative, diagnostic quality duplicate xray (not original) is required of the treatment area.
    NOTE:  Predetermination of treatment is recommended.
  • If it is not initial placement, your dentist needs to provide the initial placement date and the reason for the replacement. Please submit this information with your claim form.

Please note: You are responsible for payment to the dentist at the time of service. The reimbursement check will be sent to your address.
