Enrollment with Montana payers
All 12 Montana payers run real-time eligibility with no enrollment step, so checks work from the first day.
On the payment side, all 12 send electronic remittance advice (835) only after enrollment. 4 use a one-click enrollment and 8 need a multi-step one. Typical enrollment time: a few weeks for 10 and within hours for 2.
For claims, 4 accept dental claims (837D) electronically and 11 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 verify a Montana patient's dental coverage
- Step 1
Gather the basics.
Get the member ID from the insurance card, plus the patient's full name and date of birth.
- Step 2
Pick the payer.
Match the card to one of the 12 Montana payers above or to a nationwide carrier. Between them, the Montana payers go by 43 billing names and 79 alternate payer IDs, so the card may not match the list word for word.
- 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 12.
- Step 4
Read the benefits breakdown.
Look at active status, deductible, annual maximum, coverage percentages and frequency limits before the patient sits down.
