Enrollment with Idaho payers

All 21 Idaho payers run real-time eligibility with no enrollment step, so checks work from the first day.

On the payment side, 20 of the 21 send electronic remittance advice (835) only after enrollment and 1 does not offer it electronically. 8 use a one-click enrollment and 12 need a multi-step one. Typical enrollment time: a few weeks for 16 and within hours for 4.

For claims, 8 accept dental claims (837D) electronically and 17 answer claim status requests (276/277). Eligibility checks do not wait on any of it, so you can verify a patient before any of that paperwork is done.

// How to

How to verify an Idaho patient's dental coverage

  1. Step 1

    Gather the basics.

    Get the member ID from the insurance card, plus the patient's full name and date of birth.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the payer.

    Match the card to one of the 21 Idaho payers above or to a nationwide carrier. Between them, the Idaho payers go by 77 billing names and 136 alternate payer IDs, so the card may not match the list word for word.

  3. Step 3

    Run the check.

    The eligibility request goes to the payer electronically and the answer comes back in real time, with no enrollment needed first for any of the 21.

  4. Step 4

    Read the benefits breakdown.

    Look at active status, deductible, annual maximum, coverage percentages and frequency limits before the patient sits down.
