If you are interested in electronic claims submission, Delta Dental of Minnesota would like to be your partner in making the claims submission process easier and more efficient. By utilizing electronic claims submission, we can establish a two-way exchange of information. This will help us achieve our ultimate goal of processing claims correctly and in a timely manner. Please note: Minnesota law requires dentists practicing in the state of Minnesota to file claims electronically.To get started with electronic claims processing, contact your software vendor or practice management vendor for more information. If you would like more information from Delta Dental on processing claims and special requirements, please feel free to view or print out the Electronic Claims Submission guide. You may also call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-328-1188 and request a paper copy. To ensure electronic claims are processed accurately and efficiently:
835/Electronic Remittance Advice The 835/Electronic Remittance Advice is an electronic version of the provider Explanation of Benefits (EOB). This will be sent to you by the same clearinghouse that you submit your electronic claims to. Check with your software vendor to see how this will be loaded into your Practice Management System. Some software vendors have the capability of automatically posting this data directly into your accounts receivables. Others may only provide a display image that can be printed and would need to be manually entered. You will also need to check with your clearinghouse and software vendor to determine what, if any, cost there may be for you. Delta Dental of Minnesota does not charge a fee for the 835/ERA. If you are a Minnesota provider, you must comply with the MN Statute 62J requiring all provider EOBs be electronic. If you need duplicate EOBs, you can obtain a copy by going to the Claims Inquiry application on this Web site. You can also contact Customer Service at 1-800-328-1188. In most areas, the 835/ERA supplies additional information (from what was on the paper version) which aids in the automatic posting process. However, the processing policies are more general than what is currently on the paper EOB. If you have trouble interpreting the processing policies, you can refer to the member’s ID card for information to contact Customer Service or a reference to a Web site for access to view the claim online. Please note: For providers based in Minnesota, if you would like to discontinue the paper EOBs, please send your request in writing to Delta Dental of Minnesota, Attn: Professional Services, PO Box 9304, Minneapolis, MN 55440.
